Bug#245392: RFA: neon -- An HTTP and WebDAV client library



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the neon package.
The package description is:
 neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.
 .
 WARNING: THE NEON API IS NOT YET STABLE.
 .
 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.
 .
 Current features:
   * High-level interface to HTTP and WebDAV methods (PUT, GET, HEAD etc)
   * Low-level interface to HTTP request handling, to allow implementing
     new methods easily.
   * persistent connections
   * RFC2617 basic and digest authentication (including auth-int, md5-sess)
   * Proxy support (including basic/digest authentication)
   * SSL/TLS support using OpenSSL (including client certificate support)
   * Generic WebDAV 207 XML response handling mechanism
   * XML parsing using the expat or libxml parsers
   * Easy generation of error messages from 207 error responses
   * WebDAV resource manipulation: MOVE, COPY, DELETE, MKCOL.
   * WebDAV metadata support: set and remove properties, query any set ofi
     properties (PROPPATCH/PROPFIND).
   * autoconf macros supplied for easily embedding neon directly inside an
     application source tree.

The package has 2 RC bugs open, the 2nd one being ridiculous IMHO
since the documentation in libneon24-doc contains the license, YMMV.

I have no inclination to deal with this disgusting legalese and will
orphan the package if no one takes it within say 2 weeks.

Note that subversion depends on libneon24 which is built from neon
sources.

Regards
 . Siggy
