[R] Package httr::GET() question

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Thanks.  Yes.  I did that,  it also has a verbose mode so that I could see what it was doing.  What I needed was not just escaping but strict escaping.  My memory forma number of years back was that I had issues with urlencode from base not being strict.  And of course you don't what to encode twice.

Thanks,

-Roy
