TITLE(Notes About neon compared to libcurl)
These are some notes about libcurl compared against neon. If you have additional
experiencies and comments you want to share with the world, we're all ears!
- libcurl is more portable (VMS, OS/400, etc)
- neon lacks support for: NTLM on non-windows, it doesn't offer SSL
built to use NSS, it doesn't support cookies, it doesn't support compression
deflating and it only supports HTTP(S) as transfer protocol
- neon offers WebDAV support
"I found that libneon is actually a bit more efficient (maybe 33% fewer CPU
cycles in a similar setup as above), but I think only because it does blocking
reads. libneon is also a lot more work to use, as it forces the user to
implement more of the HTTP session state machine." - Matt Gruenke
