Examples

# NOT RUN {
handle("http://google.com")
handle("https://google.com")

h <- handle("http://google.com")
GET(handle = h)
# Should see cookies sent back to server
GET(handle = h, config = verbose())

h <- handle("http://google.com", cookies = FALSE)
GET(handle = h)$cookies

# }
# NOT RUN {
# Using the preferred way of configuring the http methods
# will not work when using handle():
GET(handle = h, timeout(10))
# Passing named arguments will work properly:
GET(handle = h, config = list(timeout(10), add_headers(Accept = "")))
# }
# NOT RUN {
