findHTTPHeaderEncoding: Find the encoding of the HTTP response from the HTTP header
Description
This function is currently made available so it can be called
from C code to find the charset from the HTTP header in the
response from an HTTP server. It maps this charset value
to one of the known R encodings (UTF-8 or LATIN1)
or returns the native encoding.
This will most likely be removed in the future.
Usage
findHTTPHeaderEncoding(str)
Arguments
str
one or more lines from the HTTP header
Value
NA or an integer value indicating the encoding
to be used. This integer corresponds to the cetype_t enumeration
in Rinternals.h.
