1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
WebSupport is a collection of C++ classes providing an easy
to use communications layer API for World Wide Web
protocols. Here are some features provided by websupport:
+o libwio provides low-level interface designed to be
similar to file I/O calls like open(), read() and
write() so that existing applications can be made web-
aware with minimal redesign.
+o libwebfetch class WebFetch provides higher-level
interface that handles prioritized fetching with a
transparent cache suitable for use in a separate
thread.
+o libwebfetch class XWebFetch provides the function of
WebFetch with an easy to use Xt level interface that
handles all asynchronous fetching
+o Built in cache for high performance surfing
+o resource database mechanism, for setting parameters to
the library
+o Blocking and non-blocking operation to allow for
asynchronous I/O
+o mime-type and mailcap file utility routines
+o integrated SOCKS support
