URL check and download for bw_ranges #78

Closed cnluzon closed 3 years ago

cnluzon commented 3 years ago

Now validate_filelist also accounts for URLs and these are checked using RCurl.

If URLs are valid, bigWig files are downloaded to temp files (no caching).

Explicit download is only implemented for bigWig files, BED files are already handled natively by rtracklayer.

Automated testing of URL handling is not included at the moment.
