Build and test

neon

neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.

GitHub: https://github.com/notroj/neon | Web: https://notroj.github.io/neon/

The neon API and ABI are stable and maintain backwards compatibility since 0.27 through to 1.0.0. From neon 1.0.0 onwards, semantic versioning will be used. https://semver.org/

Features:

  • High-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods.
  • Low-level interface to HTTP request handling, to allow implementing new methods easily.
  • Persistent connection support (HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 aware)
  • Basic and Digest authentication (RFC 7616/7617, including SHA-2, userhash)
  • Kerberos (Negotiate) and SSPI/NTLM authentication (Unix and Windows)
  • HTTP and SOCKS (v4/5) proxy support (including authentication)
  • SSL/TLS support using OpenSSL or GnuTLS (client certs via files or PKCS#11)
  • Generic WebDAV 207 XML response handling mechanism
  • XML parsing using expat or libxml2
  • Easy generation of error messages from 207 error responses
  • Basic HTTP/1.1 methods: GET, PUT, HEAD, OPTIONS, conditional PUT
  • WebDAV resource manipulation: MOVE, COPY, DELETE, MKCOL.
  • WebDAV metadata support: set and remove properties (PROPPATCH), query any set of properties (PROPFIND).
  • WebDAV locking and ACL (RFC 3744) support
  • Autoconf macros supplied for easily embedding neon directly inside an application source tree.

Provides lower-level interfaces to directly implement new HTTP methods, and higher-level interfaces so that you don't have to worry about the lower-level stuff.

The manual and test suite are licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL; see test/COPYING for terms. The autoconf macros in the "macros" directory are under a less restrictive license, see each file for details.
