Set curl options, proxy, and basic auth

Usage

set_opts(...)

set_verbose()

set_proxy(x)

set_auth(x)

set_headers(...)

crul_settings(reset = FALSE)

Arguments

...

For set_opts() any curl option in the set curl::curl_options(). For set_headers() a named list of headers

x

For set_proxy() a proxy object made with proxy(). For set_auth() an auth object made with auth()

reset

(logical) reset all settings (aka, delete them). Default: FALSE

Details

  • set_opts(): set curl options; supports any options in curl::curl_options()

  • set_verbose(): set custom curl verbose; sets verbose=TRUE and debugfunction to the callback result from curl_verbose()

  • set_proxy(): set proxy settings, accepts proxy()

  • set_auth(): set authorization, accepts auth()

  • set_headers(): set request headers, a named list

  • crul_settings(): list all settigns set via these functions

Note

the mock option will be seen in output of crul_settings() but is set via the function mock()

Examples

if (interactive()) {
# get settings
crul_settings()

# curl options
set_opts(timeout_ms = 1000)
crul_settings()
set_opts(timeout_ms = 4000)
crul_settings()
set_opts(verbose = TRUE)
crul_settings()
if (FALSE) {
HttpClient$new('https://hb.opencpu.org')$get('get')
}
# set_verbose - sets: `verbose=TRUE`, and `debugfunction` to 
# result of call to `curl_verbose()`, see `?curl_verbose`
set_verbose()
crul_settings()

# basic authentication
set_auth(auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "basic"))
crul_settings()

# proxies
set_proxy(proxy("http://97.77.104.22:3128"))
crul_settings()

# headers
crul_settings(TRUE) # reset first
set_headers(foo = "bar")
crul_settings()
set_headers(`User-Agent` = "hello world")
crul_settings()
if (FALSE) {
set_opts(verbose = TRUE)
HttpClient$new('https://hb.opencpu.org')$get('get')
}

# reset
crul_settings(TRUE)
crul_settings()
