+long_desc="
+ Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part
+ of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but
+ the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages.
+
+ libsoup 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).
+
+ Features:
+   * Completely Asynchronous
+   * Connection cache
+   * HTTP chunked transfer support
+   * HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 authenticated proxy support
+   * SSL Support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS
+   * Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
+   * HTTP server
+   * Server support for Digest and Basic authentication"
