Hello,
We are working on an embedded project which acts as HTTP/FTP client sometimes in order to meet some special needs. I have to look for some kind of HTTP/FTP client API or library for it because apparently it doesn't make any sense to write our own if there are such libraries exist somewhere already.
I hope the libriary is written in C with small footprint, do you have any suggestion?
TIA.

how about using libcurl?
It has a BSD type Licence.

If you can get away with using standardized HTTP/FTP tools and shell scripts (and AWK for pattern searching) you can use Busybox tools. If you are doing special/non-standard stuff with the HTTP/FTP protocols you will need a different solution.
Thanks a lot. But is there HTTP client function in BusyBox?

Why the sour attitude? You stealing their source code too???
-- Jerry McBride (jmcbride@mail-on.us)
Nop. No sour attitude here! Just stating the facts. Just because software is GPLed people expect it to be totally without strings attached. Well If they are distributing GPLed software with their products they have to be reminded that there are obligations on their part to acknowledge the software and provide some way of access to the source for the end-user. Last phrase on my previous post was meant be such a reminder and I missed to include ":) " with it. Its good that the FSF is now enforcing this as highlighted by two recent court cases in US.
The answer two your second question is : "No I have never stolen anything in my life, and never will". But unlike most people out there I do read the Legal documentation that comes with GPL software and comply with it. So if you are one of the "freeballers" who dont read the licensing docs, I suggest you do!
How about libwww?
