parse_date

Can be used to parse dates appearing in http response headers such
as <code>Expires</code> or <code>Last-Modified</code>. Automatically recognizes
most common formats. If the format is known, <code><a href="/link/strptime?package=curl&version=5.2.0" data-mini-rdoc="curl::strptime">strptime</a></code>
might be easier.

The curl() and curl_download() functions provide highly
configurable drop-in replacements for base url() and download.file() with
better performance, support for encryption (https, ftps), gzip compression,
authentication, and other 'libcurl' goodies. The core of the package implements a
framework for performing fully customized requests where data can be processed
either 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 'httr' package which builds on this package with http
specific tools and logic.
