A 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.
