COPY verb

[sckott]

COPY isn't a standard curl verb, but is used e.g., in CouchDB to make a copy of a document in a database (duplicate the contents of, including attachments) , see http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API#COPY for reference

COPY is in libcurl, but I wasn't able to find it in RCurl.

You said should be easy to create a generic verb. Recommendations for doing so? As this would be a function I write in another pkg, the helper fxns (e.g., perform) aren't exported from httr, though I could copy them into the other package that COPY is used.

What if it worked something like VERB("COPY", url, ...)

That seems reasonable to me, thanks @hadley
