Examples

if (FALSE) {
# establish a connection, you will be asked for a password

r <- wd_connect("https://example.com/remote.php/dav/files/myname","myname")


# establish a connection, use keyring package to retrieve the password

keyring::key_set("dav", "myname") # call only once

r <- wd_connect("https://example.com/remote.php/dav/files/myname",
                "myname",
                keyring::key_get("dav", "myname"))
}
