General network (HTTP/FTP/...) client interface for R The package allows 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. Software Depends: R (>= 2.7.0), methods, bitops Imports: methods Suggests: Rcompression, XML Duncan Temple Lang <duncan@wald.ucdavis.edu> Duncan Temple Lang BSD 2012-02-08 application/tgz http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RCurl
