Revision 1071836 of Necko

<p><strong>Necko</strong> is a network library that provides a platform-independent API for several layers of networking, ranging from transport to presentation layers. This API is used in many Mozilla-based client applications (including Firefox) and can be used for writing other networking clients.</p>

<p>Currently the library is built as part of the Mozilla distribution. You can get the whole distribution as described in the<a href="/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_build"> Build Documentation</a>. Eventually we'd like to move to a binary distribution mechanism for the networking library so that you can build your application that uses this library without having to build Mozilla.</p>
