17: As mentioned in the <A HREF="../User/Architecture/">Library Architecture</A>,
18: libwww consists of a small core and a large set of hooks for adding
19: functionality. By itself, the core it not capable of performing any Web related
20: tasks like accessing a HTTP server or parsing a HTML document. All this
21: functionality must be registered by the application. This way, the core of
22: libwww is kept application independent and can be used as the basic building
23: block for any kind of Web application. The Library comes with a large set
24: of default functions, for example for accessing HTTP and FTP servers, parsing
25: <A HREF="http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc822.txt">RFC
26: 822</A> headers etc. This module helps the application programmer setting
27: up all this functionality, but it is important to note that none of it is
28: <I>required</I> in order to use the Library.
29: <P>
30: This module is implemented by <A HREF="HTInit.c">HTInit.c</A>, and it is
31: a part of the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Library/">W3C Reference
32: Library</A>. You can also have a look at the other
33: <A HREF="WWWInit.html">Initialization modules</A>.

74: <P>
2.38 frystyk 75: The core doesn't have any built in MIME parsers, but many of the protocols
2.39 frystyk 76: need them. For instance, many elements of the library rely on the
77: <CODE>Content-Length</CODE> being correctly set. HTMIMEInit provides the
78: minimal functionality needed for library reliablilty.

88: <P>
2.39 frystyk 89: libwww core does not have any default event loop - it has to be added by
90: the application. However, it does come with an example implementation thta
91: may be used. This implementation is based on a <CODE>select</CODE> system
92: call using non-blocking and interleaved sockets.

102: The <EM>Converters</EM> are used to convert a media type to another media

169: a function of the media type and the content encoding of the file in question.
170: That is - you can set up icons for compressed files, postscript files etc.
171: There is also a small set of specific icons representing directories etc.
