Thanks to some joint work with @jeroenooms the latest dev build of webR now supports the {curl} package, along with many other packages that rely on it! 🎉 If you're able and willing to use a WebSocket SOCKS proxy (outside of the browser), you can now use {curl} to make HTTPS requests in webR. Here's an example using an R package that relies on {httr2} to query a Hacker News API: https://webr.r-wasm.org/latest/#code=eJydUctKxDAUBZf9ijAITbC2PsbNYEFdC8qIoIiUTHvbqaZJyc08uvYL%2FAd3%2FoF7%2F8sk7TCjS3fpueece%2B7p%2B9uH5A183ktTGwHFcTz9aLmZfyVz1UCyglm2QNDJ7rzghn%2FvvdUSDRcibnn%2ByitAmtPR3L5hKmGFo4iMqqoVypy45wsqKWoDI8YCUc801x3dkrfYIGFBcNdhjGBALunl9XV2O715eExDVPkrns0nSWIAzaRTQl2sMNaHC1kvQSPEBSwn4%2FFpaC1mlpKhUboGJOeHpAKT7WK04evMhmowPT5iQVE6krsuLrUthQaE%2BKtJSpC3rejorjoi5ULmplZyC3eMbN%2F7Xswia4O50v%2B28WIW2IOKsvd0OUue2yndQBERsASB6QZ4UroAP%2B%2F1z%2BxXH5nr2ZfiG7e8iHBbydqmHAw7F9hprTefgUh7I0YO7EUVqCbLlaA7n541ALmy%2B7NS1O2GUXlbGl7ZFGRIEfaztVXS8M5d2y8f8K7H3dq%2F%2F9Pn%2FwGX6PLO&a
