R example with POST #70

Closed bhoefle-3dgeo closed 2 years ago

I thought we changed to GET? Is the current R script working with the POST?

Methods that use more complex DB queries use the POST method on all current branches, e.g.

The R script reflects that: https://github.com/3dgeo-heidelberg/pytreedb/blob/c6e003c563ce1e960f98a0dd73b82db8c178a34e/examples_api/example.R#L38

Typically, length limits for POST are much higher than for GET, and very complex queries might run into problems with GET (>2000 characters/bytes)
