Name : R-RCurl Product : Fedora 16 Version : 1.7.0 Release : 2.fc16 URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RCurl/index.html Summary : General network (HTTP/FTP) client interface for R Description : 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.
