"Lac" expands to "Library for Asynchronous Communication". It is a network abstraction library like a zillion others, but with a few features rarely found in other network libraries: - Works well with the GLib main loop. - Asynchronous, caching DNS resolver. - Pipelining HTTP 1.1 implementation These features haven't been tested much, so they will contain bugs and missing pieces here and there. They should be basically working, though. Features that would be nice to have, but aren't in the libary yet: - HTTP cache - HTTP cookies - HTTP Proxy support - Support for SSL - FTP implementation - Documentation You can help adding these, of course. You can download the library at http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/lac-0.6.tar.gz Lac is free software; you can modify and distribute it under the terms of the LGPL (the GNU Library General Public License).
