register a URL with remote and/or local registries

register(url, registries = default_registries(), ...)

Arguments

url	a URL for a data file (or list of URLs)
registries	list of registries at which to register the URL
...	additional arguments

Value

the httr::response object for the request (invisibly)

Details

Local registries can be specified as one or more file paths where local registries should be created. Usually a given application will want to register in only one local registry. For most use cases, the default registry should be sufficient.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()


 ## Real users won't use a temporary dir
Sys.setenv("CONTENTID_REGISTRIES" = tempdir())

 
# \donttest{
