downloader (version 0.2.1)
A package for downloading files over http and https
Description
This package provides a wrapper for the download.file
function, making it possible to download files over https on
Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix-like platforms. The RCurl
package provides this functionality (and much more) but can be
difficult to install because it must be compiled with external
dependencies. This package has no external dependencies, so it
is much easier to install.
