as_httr_req

entry

quiet

<p>This function is very useful if you used <code>splashr</code> to find XHR requests in a dynamic
page and want to be able to make a call directly to that XHR resource. Once you
identify the proper HAR entry, pass it to this function and fully working function
that makes an <code>httr::VERB()</code> request will be created and returned.</p>

'Splash' <https://github.com/scrapinghub/splash> is a 'JavaScript' rendering service.
It is a lightweight web browser with an 'HTTP' API, implemented in 'Python' using 'Twisted'
and 'QT' and provides some of the core functionality of the 'RSelenium' or 'seleniumPipes'
R packages in a lightweight footprint. Some of 'Splash' features include the ability to process
multiple web pages in parallel; retrieving 'HTML' results and/or take screen shots; disabling
images or use 'Adblock Plus' rules to make rendering faster; executing custom 'JavaScript' in
page context; getting detailed rendering info in 'HAR' format.
