+%description
+The curl() and curl_download() functions provide highly configurable
+drop-in replacements for base url() and download.file() with better
+performance, support for encryption (https, ftps), gzip compression,
+authentication, and other 'libcurl' goodies. The core of the package
+implements a framework for performing fully customized requests where data
+can be processed either in memory, on disk, or streaming via the callback
+or connection interfaces. Some knowledge of 'libcurl' is recommended; for
+a more-user-friendly web client see the 'httr' package which builds on
+this package with http specific tools and logic.
