SystemRequirements: GNU make, libcurl
Description: A wrapper for 'libcurl'
Provides functions to allow one to compose general HTTP
requests and provides convenient functions to fetch URIs, get &
post forms, etc. and process the results returned by the Web
server. This provides a great deal of control over the
HTTP/FTP/... connection and the form of the request while
providing a higher-level interface than is available just using
R socket connections. Additionally, the underlying
implementation is robust and extensive, supporting
FTP/FTPS/TFTP (uploads and downloads), SSL/HTTPS, telnet, dict,
ldap, and also supports cookies, redirects, authentication,
etc.
