curl options

With the opts parameter you can pass in various curl options, including user agent string, whether to get verbose curl output or not, setting a timeout for requests, and more. See curl::curl_options() for all the options you can use. Note that you need to give curl options exactly as given in curl::curl_options().

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
url <- "https://hb.opencpu.org"

# set curl options on client initialization
(res <- HttpClient$new(url = url, opts = list(verbose = TRUE)))
res$opts
res$get('get')

# or set curl options when performing HTTP operation
(res <- HttpClient$new(url = url))
res$get('get', verbose = TRUE)
res$get('get', stuff = "things")

# set a timeout
(res <- HttpClient$new(url = url, opts = list(timeout_ms = 1)))
# res$get('get')

# set user agent either as a header or an option
HttpClient$new(url = url,
  headers = list(`User-Agent` = "hello world"),
  opts = list(verbose = TRUE)
)$get('get')

HttpClient$new(url = url,
  opts = list(verbose = TRUE, useragent = "hello world")
)$get('get')

# You can also set custom debug function via the verbose 
# parameter when calling `$new()`
res <- HttpClient$new(url, verbose=curl_verbose())
res
res$get("get")
res <- HttpClient$new(url, verbose=curl_verbose(data_in=TRUE))
res$get("get")
res <- HttpClient$new(url, verbose=curl_verbose(info=TRUE))
res$get("get")
} # }
