                     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
2.11    ! frystyk    25: MIME headers etc. This module helps the application programmer setting up
        !            26: all this functionality, but it is important to note that none of it is
        !            27: <I>required</I> in order to use libwww.

                     52: <I>servers</I>, <I>robots</I>, and <I>proxy servers</I>. They are basically
                     53: collections of the more detailed initialization functions that you can find
                     54: later in this interface description. In many cases you do not need to use
                     55: anything else than the profiles, but if you have more specific requirements
                     56: then you can always fall back on using the initialization functions below
                     57: or even werite your own extensions.
