The libsoup is a HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObject and the GLib main loop to integrate with GNOME applications and it also has an asynchronous API for use in threaded applications.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.1 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libsoup
First, fix a problem in the testsuite caused by glib-networking-2.68.0:
patch -Np1 -i ../libsoup-2.72.0-testsuite_fix-1.patch
Install libsoup by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr -Dvapi=enabled -Dgssapi=disabled .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
-Dvapi=disabled: Use this if you have
not installed Vala, e.g. because
you are not building GNOME.
-Ddoc=enabled: Use this option if you
want to build the documentation. Note that you must have GTK-Doc-1.33.2 installed.
-Dgssapi=disabled: libsoup
defaults to building with GSSAPI support, which requires Kerberos
(as does the test suite). If you are building GNOME or have
kerberos installed, remove this switch.
