Create a downloadObject function #217

Closed maier-m closed 6 years ago

maier-m commented 6 years ago

Create a downloadObject function to assist users with getting files from dataONE. An alternative now is to use:

foo <- dataone::getObject() writeBin(foo) But this will fail with files >2GB because of limitations inherent to R

A downloadObject function should be part of the D1Client module to preserve API congruence.

Additionally, the function should use mediaType and fileName sysmeta when possible to name files and give file extensions.
