1 Welcome to serf, a high-performance asynchronous HTTP client library.
3 The serf library is a C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache
4 Portable Runtime (APR) library. It multiplexes connections, running the
5 read/write communication asynchronously. Memory copies and transformations are
6 kept to a minimum to provide high performance operation.

17 Quick guide for the impatient
26 Building serf from a Subversion checkout (non-packaged releases)
28 We suggest that you try out 'serfmake'.
30 % ./serfmake --prefix=/usr/local/serf --with-apr=/usr/local/apr install
32 If you want to use the autoconf build system and are using a Subversion
33 checkout, you need to run buildconf and have APR and APR-util sources handy.
35 % ./buildconf --with-apr=/path/to/apr --with-apr-util=/path/to/apr-util
36 (By default, buildconf will look in . and ../ for apr and apr-util.)
38 Then, you can use ./configure, make, etc.
