Notes About libsoup compared to libcurl

These are only some quick notes. If you have additional experiencies and comments you want to share with the world, we're all ears!

Som info for this page was extracted from the libsoup ToDo page.

• libcurl is (far) more portable
• libsoup lacks support for: cookies, NTLM for proxies (Proxy-Authentication:), GSS, gzip encoding, trailers in chunked responses and more that libcurl already provides.
• libsoup is using GNOME-related libs, making it a less convenient choice for non-GNOME environments.
