* Package name : r-cran-curl Version : 0.9.6 Upstream Author : Jeroen Ooms <[email protected]> * URL : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/curl/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: GNU R Description : GNU R modern and flexible web client for R The curl() and curl_download() functions provide highly configurable drop- in replacements for base url() and download.file() with better performance, support for encryption (https, ftps), gzip compression, authentication, and other libcurl goodies. The core of the package implements a framework for performing fully customized requests where data can be processed either in memory, on disk, or streaming via the callback or connection interfaces. Some knowledge of libcurl is recommended; for a more-user-friendly web client see the 'httr' package which builds on this package with http specific tools and logic. Remark: This package belongs to the pyramid of dependencies for r-cran-treescape and will be maintained by the Debian Med team at svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-curl/trunk/
