Details
These functions make it easy to download Opasnet files for being used in R. Required path (filename) for file must be resolved
using the corresponding Media Wiki. Big data files should always be compressed before uploading to Opasnet. Using the
unzip-argument makes it easy to download and directly use any zip-compressed files.
opasnet.page downloads wiki pages using getURL from RCurl.
