     1.4 +LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits
     1.5 +and pieces. The goals of the project, in the order of importance, are as
     1.6 +follows:
     1.7 +
     1.8 + 1. Completeness of coverage; LibHTP must be able to parse virtually all
     1.9 +    traffic that is found in practice.
    1.10 +
    1.11 + 2. Permissive parsing; LibHTP must never fail to parse a stream that would
    1.12 +    be parsed by some other web server.
    1.13 +
    1.14 + 3. Awareness of evasion techniques; LibHTP must be able to detect and
    1.15 +    effectively deal with various evasion techniques, producing, where
    1.16 +    practical, identical or practically identical results as the web
    1.17 +    server processing the same traffic stream.
    1.18 +
    1.19 + 4. Performance; The performance must be adequate for the desired tasks.
    1.20 +    Completeness and security are often detrimental to performance. Our
    1.21 +    idea of handling the conflicting requirements is to put the library
    1.22 +    user in control, allowing him to choose the most desired library
    1.23 +    characteristic.
