| verbose {httr} | R Documentation |
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
