Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : r-cran-rcurl Version : 1.95-4.1 Upstream Author : Duncan Temple Lang <duncan at r-project.org> * URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RCurl/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: R Description : 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. .. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
