Give verbose output.
A verbose connection provides much more information about the flow of information between the client and server.
verbose(data_out = TRUE, data_in = FALSE, info = FALSE, ssl = FALSE)
data_out |
Show data sent to the server. |
data_in |
Show data recieved from the server. |
info |
Show informational text from curl. This is mainly useful for debugging https and auth problems, so is disabled by default. |
ssl |
Show even data sent/recieved over SSL connections? |
verbose() uses the following prefixes to distinguish between
different components of the http messages:
* informative curl messages
-> headers sent (out)
>> data sent (out)
*> ssl data sent (out)
<- headers received (in)
<< data received (in)
<* ssl data received (in)
with_verbose() makes it easier to use verbose mode
even when the requests are buried inside another function call.
Other config:
add_headers(),
authenticate(),
config(),
set_cookies(),
timeout(),
use_proxy(),
user_agent()

f <- function() {
GET("http://httpbin.org")
}
with_verbose(f())
with_verbose(f(), info = TRUE)
