httr2curl

Turn ‘httr’ Web Requests Into ‘curl’ Command Line Calls

Description

When provided with an ‘httr’ “VERB” call, the request will be made and ‘libcurl’ headers will be captured and post-processed to provide a working ‘curl’ command line call.

What’s Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

• h2c: Convert an ‘httr’ call to ‘curl’ command line

Installation

remotes::install_git("https://git.rud.is/hrbrmstr/httr2curl.git")

NOTE: To use the ‘remotes’ install options you will need to have the {remotes} package installed.

Usage

library(httr2curl)

# current version
packageVersion("httr2curl")
## [1] '0.1.0'

Using local perl

h2c(
  httr::GET(
    url = "https://rud.is/",
    httr::user_agent(splashr::ua_apple_tv),
    query = list(
      a = "b",
      c = 1
    )
  )
)
## [1] "/var/folders/bx/41ph1lms22q9mc83j5tx4bg80000gn/T//RtmpFs8uvt/fileced55b4fcbba"

Using the web service

h2c(
  httr::GET(
    url = "https://rud.is/",
    httr::user_agent(splashr::ua_apple_tv),
    query = list(
      a = "b",
      c = 1
