Description: Bindings to 'libcurl' for performing fully
configurable HTTP/FTP requests where responses can be processed in memory, on
disk, or streaming via the callback or connection interfaces. Some knowledge
of 'libcurl' is recommended; for a more-user-friendly web client see the
'httr2' package which builds on this package with http specific tools and logic.
