As this is the big day for the release of the mozilla code, I would like to poke people's minds on this list to where you think this leaves libwww. The main reason for me to continue working on libwww is that it has the fastest protocol engine around and is very extensible. This was mission critical for our performance work, which you can find at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Performance/ Libwww is still the only application that takes full advantage of HTTP/1.1. Also, the support of PUT, POST, TRACE, OPTIONS, etc. I find very useful in many ways. Obviously, I am not able to keep the documentation up to date all by myself. The problem is that I don't have the time it takes to maintain libwww including not only the documentation but also the source. I would like to hear some reasons why other people are using it, and how they think that they can and will and have resources to contribute more to the development of libwww and whether it is worth it.
