Test with new httr

[richfitz]

From: Hadley Wickham h.wickham@gmail.com Date: Wed, Jun 10, 2015, 9:48 AM Subject: httr 1.0.0 To:

Hi all,

I'm preparing to release httr 1.0.0. This is a big release because it replaces RCurl with curl, a modern binding to libcurl written by Jeroen Ooms. This should fix many strange and lingering bugs.

I've run R CMD check on all reverse dependencies, and notified you individually if I found any problems. But I'd still recommend installing it (devtools::install_github("hadley/httr")) and testing yourself, just to make sure I haven't missed anything. Please let me know if you find any problems.

I'm planning to submit httr to CRAN on June 24.

Thanks!

Hadley

Cool, thanks. Will look into this tomorrow probably.

[wcornwell]

Looks everything works actually, just with this warning

1: In curl::curl_fetch_disk(url, x$path, handle = handle) :
  progress callback must return boolean

[richfitz]

I fixed that by reinstalling httr and curl.

[wcornwell]

I'm still getting the warnings

[sckott]

i get the same warnings with all updated versions of curl and httr

[wcornwell]

There might be a particular versions of curl and httr that still throw this warning, but curl 0.8.9000 and httr 1.0.0.9000 don't throw the warning. But leaving open for now in case other people have this issue

[ccleung]

I'm getting the same warnings with curl_0.9.1 and httr_1.0.0.

E.g., if I run: httr::GET('https://www.google.com', progress())

I will see "There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)".

And here are the warnings (the same warning repeated):

50: In curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
  progress callback must return boolean

[wcornwell]

Yeah @ccleung it's been fixed here: https://github.com/hadley/httr/pull/252

But httr 1.0.0.9000 isn't up on CRAN. If you load the github version of httr the warning should go away.

[richfitz]

Confirmed working with hadley/httr, so any version >= 1.0.0.9000 should not have this problem.
