Description: General Network (HTTP/FTP/...) Client Interface for R
 A wrapper for 'libcurl' <https://curl.se/libcurl/> Provides functions to allow
 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.
