The gvfs ftp backend is going to need sockets/tcp/dns/etc support, but 
gio doesn't currently provide anything there and I'm not sure what the 
plan is for that...
Anyway, there's a comparison of the available glib-based networking 
libraries at http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/OtherNetworkLibraries that I 
did a while ago. I've updated it now to include gio (and to at least 
mention flow). It's a bit biased towards being "how are these things 
similar to and different from soup", because that was what I was 
interested in when I wrote it, but it still works as a general overview. 
If people want to add info or otherwise improve it, feel free to edit it.
