-GNU inetlib is a library of clients for common internet protocols.
-The following protocols are currently supported:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)</li>
-<li>File Transfer Protocol (FTP)</li>
-<li>Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)</li>
-<li>Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)</li>
-<li>Post Office Protocol (POP)</li>
-<li>Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)</li>
-<li>Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) (alpha)</li>
-<li>Gopher</li>
-<li>Finger</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-The inetlib library is similar in intent to the Python internet protocols
-library - the API is as close as possible to the intent of the underlying
-protocol design. This allows for very efficient coding of user agents.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Additionally, inetlib includes URLStreamHandler implementations for some
-of the protocols. These can be used to add support for the corresponding
-URL scheme to the java.net.URL class.

-The inetlib HTTP client supports HTTP/1.1 as described in RFC 2616, with
-the following features:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Persistent connections</li>
-<li>Basic and Digest authentication (RFC 2617)</li>
-<li>HTTPS</li>
-<li>HTTP proxies</li>
-<li>HTTP/1.0 compatibility</li>
-<li>Support for WebDAV methods and other HTTP extensions</li>
-<li>Automatic decoding of the chunked transfer-coding</li>
-<li>Parsing of HTTP date headers</li>
-<li>Support for the 100-continue expectation</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-The design of the API is similar to the
-<createlink url="http://www.webdav.org/neon/" name="neon">
-WebDAV/HTTP library. A logical connection to the server is instantiated,
-and multiple requests can be issued on this connection. Each request has
-an atomic <code>dispatch</code> method which returns the response.
-All I/O, authentication, etc is handled by registering callback objects
-with the request prior to dispatch, which are notified during the dispatch
-procedure as necessary. Simple byte-array content callbacks are supplied
-which can manage any request/response content that fits in available memory.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-An URL stream handler is provided, supporting the full HttpURLConnection
-specification.

-The inetlib FTP client supports both active and passive mode FTP and all
-transfer modes and representation types. The client implements RFC 959,
-with the following exceptions and limitations:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Only one concurrent transfer connection is supported</li>
-<li>The STAT, HELP, SITE, SMNT, and ACCT commands are not supported</li>
-<li>The TYPE command does not allow alternatives to the default bytesize
-(Non-print), and local bytesize is not supported</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-An URL stream handler is provided, which allows the setting of transfer modes
-and representation types by means of the <code>setRequestProperty</code>
-method.

-following features:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Extensible authentication using any available SASL mechanism</li>
-<li>TLS negotiation (RFC 2595)</li>
-<li>Automatic UTF-7imap folder name decoding/encoding</li>

-The inetlib POP client implements version 3 only, as specified in RFC 1939,
-with the exception of the no-arg LIST and UIDL commands (use STAT followed
-by multiple LIST and/or UIDL instead).
-It supports the following features:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>The POP3 extension mechanism CAPA</li>
-<li>Extensible authentication using any available SASL mechanism via
-the AUTH mechanism (RFC 1734)</li>
-<li>TLS negotiation (RFC 2595)</li>
