Hi all, I'd love to get some clarification on what the new internet policy means for packages like httr:
> Packages which use Internet resources should fail gracefully with an > informative > message if the resource is not available (and not give a check warning nor > error). It's not clear what "internet resource" means here? If it means dataset, then I think the httr tests and examples are ok. If it means any use of the internet, I'm not sure what do - httr critically depends on internet access, so I can't see any way to make it fail gracefully.
