httr_progress(object, type = c("down", "up"), pre = NULL, post = NULL)

Arguments

object	The waitress or attendant object.
type	Type of progress to display: either number of bytes uploaded or downloaded. Passed to httr::progress.
pre, post	Pre and callback functions to run before the progress starts or once it is done.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
cap_speed <- httr::config(max_recv_speed_large = 10000)

httr::GET(
  "http://httpbin.org/bytes/102400", 
  httr_progress(w), 
  cap_speed
)
}
