Simple high-level functions for HTTP PUT and DELETE
These two functions are simple, high-level functions
that implement the HTTP request methods PUT and DELETE.
These can also be done by specifying the method
type using the curl option customrequest.
These functions merely provide a convenience
wrapper for getURLContent
with the HTTP method specified.
httpPUT(url, content, ..., curl = getCurlHandle()) httpPOST(url, ..., curl = getCurlHandle()) httpDELETE(url, ..., curl = getCurlHandle()) httpGET(url, ..., curl = getCurlHandle()) httpHEAD(url, ..., curl = getCurlHandle()) httpOPTIONS(url, ..., curl = getCurlHandle())
