Convert a httr2 request object to an approximate curl command line call. This is useful for debugging, for sharing a request with someone who doesn't use R, or for handing off to another tool.
Usage
httr2_translate(req, obfuscated = c("redact", "reveal"))Arguments
- req
A httr2 request object.
- obfuscated
Form and JSON bodies can contain obfuscated values. This argument control what happens to them: should they be removed, redacted, or revealed.
See also
curl_translate() to translate in the other direction.
