- <title>SOAP</title>
-
- <para>With the libsoup library, GNOME provides support for the SOAP,
- a widely-used protocol for passing XML messages over HTTP. SOAP allows
- developers to expose an interface over the web, which can then be used
- by applications to retrieve information, send data, make transactions,
- or use any number of other services provided.</para>
-
- <para>SOAP can be used to search and retrieve information, to interact
- with an online store, to manage users' accounts on other systems, or for
- many other purposes. Web services are being used more and more to provide
- essential functionality for users, and applications using SOAP can provide
- a more integrated and featureful user experience.</para>
-
- <para>The libsoup library contains an HTTP implementation and a set of
- API for constructing and consuming SOAP messages. It also allows for
- secure authentication, so you can use web services to access private
- accounts over a secure connection. Using libsoup makes it easy to use
- web services without manually parsing and interpreting the messages
- sent through SOAP.</para>
+ <title>HTTP</title>
+
+ <para>Libsoup is an HTTP library designed to be used in graphical
+ applications which need asynchronous operations to avoid blocking the
+ user interface while network requests are going on.</para>
+
+ <para>Soup provides functionality for using HTTP cookies, SSL encrypted
+ connections, and the XML-RPC protocol based on HTTP.</para>
