original GNOME HTTP client library - run-time kit
 The HTTP protocol is the protocol that is the underlying transport
 mechanism for the modern world wide web. The protocol is well
 documented and widely implemented. While the use of the protocol is
 generally associated with the web, its uses can be extended to many
 other areas where a stateless, transactional protocol may be
 appropriate.
 .
 The original GNOME HTTP library was designed to be simple and easy to
 use while still allowing one to get one's feet wet at the protocol
 layer if needed. It was also designed with graphical, non-threaded
 applications in mind. One should be able to use the library in an
 application and never block waiting to send or receive data to a
 remote server. The main thread of execution should always be
 available to refresh its display.
 .
 This library is fully compliant with HTTP 1.1 as defined in the draft
 5 update of RFC 2068.
 .
 This package contains the run-time kit consisting of the shared
 version of the library.
