About:
glib-networking provides network extension modules for GLib, enabling support for TLS (Transport Layer Security) via GnuTLS and proxy configurations including SOCKS5. It extends the base GLib library's networking capabilities, ensuring secure and flexible connectivity for applications.

Key Features:

TLS/SSL support via GnuTLS
SOCKS5 proxy support
Proxy auto-configuration (PAC) support
Network proxy integration

Use Cases:

Enabling secure HTTPS connections in GLib-based applications
Configuring network proxies for enterprise environments
Implementing SOCKS5 proxy support in software

Alternatives:

OpenSSL – Provides cryptographic primitives but requires separate integration for TLS handling in GLib apps.
NSS – Alternative cryptographic library, though glib-networking is the standard for GLib's TLS needs.
