With the closing of Google Code, the serf project has now become Apache Serf!!

Please see our new home page for information, downloads, and issue tracking for the project.

The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library. It is permissively licensed under the Apache License, v2.

Key features:

• multiplexed, asynchronous connections
• SSL/TLS support
• full HTTP pipelining
• multiple authentication modes (Basic, Digest, Kerberos/NTLM)
• zero-copy support for increased throughput

Serf is the default client library of Apache Subversion and Apache OpenOffice
