0.6-2

Further changes re postForm() with a curl handle provided.

Problem was NULL for httppost setting.

0.6-1

Fixed type in postForm() that caused error when a curl handle was specified.

Name matching in ... of curlSetOpt() caught the cur which should have been curl. Thanks to Jim McDonal for catching this one and using the curl handle mechanism for repeated calls.

0.6-0

Allow C routines to be passed as values for the CURL options that can be R functions. Use getNativeSymbolInfo(routine, package)$address to identify the routine.

Support for concurrent, asynchronous HTTP requests using the curl_multi interface.

See the examples in tests/ or on the Web:

• concurrent
• nestedHTML
• xmlParse

0.5-3

Fixed the SSL example in getURL to turn off verification of the peer, i.e.

getURL('https://sourceforge.net', ssl.verifypeer = FALSE)
   

0.5-2

Fix for R-devel and counting of \0's in strings for the length.

0.5-1

When POSTing a form, only the first string in each element of the list was written to the body of the form. In other words, multi-valued elements such as for checkboxes with several elements selected were mishandled.

0.5-0

Internal correction for passing numbers as options.

Manifested itself with progress function not being called.

0.4-0

Use the return value from a CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION

This allows the user to raise an error.

Support the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION

CURL_CFLAGS and CURL_LIBS computed in configure so as to handle no-GNU versions of make.

0.3-0

Ensure that parameters for postForm are a list when passed to C code.
