Overview

Using the HTTP Client API with RConnection

Description

If you use the HTTP Client API, there are no chances to specify connection preferences. The default preference is to show the IAP selection dialog. However, it is more user-friendly that the IAP is selected only once by the user. The solution is to create a connection using RConnection, where you can define connection preferences as you like. Then you can attach a HTTP session to the connection as shown before.
