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.
