Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libsoup on Fedora 34.

What is `libsoup`

Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C. It was originally part of a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation called Soup, but the SOAP and non-SOAP parts have now been split into separate packages. libsoup uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications. This enables GNOME applications to access HTTP servers on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also supported for those who want it). libsoup 2.72.0 6.fc34 x86_64 397 k libsoup-2.72.0-6.fc34.src.rpm fedora Soup, an HTTP library implementation https LGPLv2 Libsoup is an HTTP library implementation in C.
