Description : library for downloading files from HTTP/FTP
Libdownload is a library for downloading files from HTTP/FTP servers.
It is a fork of libfetch, used by FreeBSD and others, and supports a
very simple interface for downloading files into memory buffers and
file descriptors. Changes from libfetch include modification to improve
portability, and proper use of select(2) timeouts.
This is being packaged because it is a dependency of pacman-package-manager
(see #511994).
