VicmapR relies upon a functioning geoserver. If for whatever reason the geoserver is not functioning then the functions
in this package will not work. This function will check the response of the geoserver; erroring out if the connection is down.
Usage
check_geoserver(timeout = 15, quiet = FALSE)
Value
logical, TRUE if the geoserver is working
Arguments
timeout
numeric: the time (in seconds) to wait for the response before timing out (default is 15)
quiet
logical: whether to silently check the connection and if working, return nothing. If FALSE (default),
the status message will be printed (http_status)
