r-rcurl 1.98-1.16

General network client interface for R

The package allows one to compose general HTTP requests and provides convenient functions to fetch URIs, GET and 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.

Installation

Install r-rcurl 1.98-1.16 as follows:

guix install r-rcurl@1.98-1.16

Or install the latest version:

guix install r-rcurl

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
