+Soup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK
applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers
on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to
the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also
supported for those who want it).
+Soup also contains code to implement an HTTP/1.1 server.

Features:
- * Completely Asynchronous
- * Connection cache
- * HTTP chunked transfer support
- * HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 authenticated proxy support
