New features

  • stop_for_status(), warn_for_status() and (new) message_for_status()
    replace message argument with new task argument that optionally describes
    the current task. This allows API wrappers to provide more informative
    error messages on failure (#277, #302). stop_for_status() and
    warn_for_status() return the response if there were no errors. This
    makes them easier to use in pipelines (#278).
  • url_ok() and url_successful() have been deprecated in favour of the more
    flexible http_error(), which works with urls, responses and integer status
    codes (#299).

OAuth

  • oauth1.0_token() gains RSA-SHA1 signature support with the private_key
    argument (@nathangoulding, #316).
  • oauth2.0_token() throws an error if it fails to get an access token (#250)
    and gains two new arguments:
    • user_params allows you to pass arbitrary additional parameters to the
      token access endpoint when acquiring or refreshing a token
      (@cornf4ke, #312)
    • use_basic_auth allows you to pick use http authentication when
      getting a token (#310, @grahamrp).
  • oauth_service_token() checks that its arguments are the correct types
    (#282) and anways returns a request object (#313, @nathangoulding).
  • refresh_oauth2.0() checks for known OAuth2.0 errors and clears the
    locally cached token in the presense of any (@nathangoulding, #315).

Bug fixes and minor improvements

  • httr no longer bundles cacert.pem, and instead it relies on the bundle in
    openssl. This bundle is only used a last-resort on windows with R <3.2.0.
  • Switch to 'openssl' package for hashing, hmac, signatures, and base64.
  • httr no longer depends on stringr (#285, @jimhester).
  • build_url() collapses vector path with / (#280, @artemklevtsov).
  • content(x) uses xml2 for XML documents and readr for csv and tsv.
  • content(, type = "text") defaults to UTF-8 encoding if not otherwise
    specified.
  • has_content() correctly tests for the presence/absence of body content (#91).
  • parse_url() correctly parses urls like file:///a/b/c work (#309).
  • progress() returns TRUE to fix for 'progress callback must return boolean'
    warning (@jeroenooms, #252).
  • upload_file() supports very large files (> 2.5 Gb) (@jeroenooms, #257).
