HTTP/1.1 (with caching, pipelining, PUT, POST,Digest Authentication, deflate, etc),
MySQLlogging,
FTP,

XML(expat),
RDF (SiRPAC), WebDAV, and much more.The purpose of libwww is to serve as a testbed for protocol experiments.

- June 12 2002:Re-packaging of thelibwww 5.4.0 release. The packages were missing the Win32 makefile files. If you had already downloaded the previous package and are missing these files, the missing files are also available in thelibwww-win32.zip package. TheInstallation guide gives more information on how to get you set up.
- June 10 2002:Releaseof thelibwww 5.4.0 WIN32 precompiled binary package. This is a companion package to the latest libwww distribution and includes precompiled versions of the libwww DLL files, as well as most of the libwww applications, including the Web Commander..

- May 30 2002:Update of the libwwwWIN32 makefiles to include the DAV package. The zip package now also includes the
.def files, as theconfig/winConfigure.pl script seems to have problems to generate them on some platforms. - May 30 2002: Manuele Kirschpi added WebDAV support to libwww. (well, this actually happened a couple of months ago, but I had forgotten to update this page).U
- December 20 2000:Releaseoflibwww 5.3.2. This release includes enhancements in the RDF parser and many bug fixes, principally in the cache, the chunk, and the hash modules. Check therelease notes for more information.
- September 22 2000: libwwww survey. We're conducting a survey to try to find out who uses libwww and where should we take libwww next.
The survey has concluded, but I haven't had time to compile the results. Help is welcome. - Release of libwww 5.3.1. This release includes patches that mostly fix problems with the SSL interface and the Windows asynchronous event handler. Therelease notes give a more detailed change list. N.B., we decided to skip the 5.3.0 release number, as some people were already refering to the pre-release as the final release.

Therelease notes give a more detailed change list. N.B., we decided to skip the 5.3.0 release number, as some people were already refering to the pre-release as the final release.
- June 9 2000: Pre-release of libwww 5.3.0. It's been over a year since the last release. Libwww has continued to evolve and patches have been contributed. This release is a snapshot of the current state of the CVS base. In addition, thanks to a change in the US legislation, it now contains the source code for the SSL interface. As this is the first release since Henrik left, we have a testing period, to see if everything works OK, and to have time to finish upgrading the release notes. The change in the version reflects this as the first libwww user's community release of their own library (even if that sounds corny!) This code is available as usual from CVS.
- Aug 29 1999:Using libwww with gtk James Henstridge: wrote up some event register/unregisterfunctions that use the glib event loop. This makes libwww fit nicely into just about any gnome or gtk+ program. This code may be useful for other people wanting to use libwww with gtk.
- Jul 7 1999: libwww-SSL library is available for testing in the US! Thanks to Jeff Schiller who have made his export controlled server available, we can distribute Olga's glue code between openSSL and libwww. It should run on both Unix and Windows - try it out!
