Hi Scott,

I'm working on an R package to interact with the HDX data portal (ckan based). The original code is on Gitlab but I also push to Github:

https://github.com/dickoa/rhdx

I'm using crul and I really love it (particularly the integration with vcr/webmockr). However, I want to be able to do some form/multipart requests to create datasets and resources on HDX but it's not possible.

In the meantime, I am using curl (code here) and I wanted to know if there is a way I can help you on this feature ? is using curl the best approach for the moment ?

I am not yet that familiar with the code base to contribute directly but I can help testing and I hope that soon I will be able to do more.

Thanks again @sckott for this great package.

thanks @dickoa for the comment here.

curl is definitely a good approach, though I do want to make it work here.

✔️ I'll keep in mind to ping you for testing and user interface for this. I'll try to get something up this week for you to test out.

p.s. vcr is now on cran (binaries not up yet though), but you still need github webmockr until i get a new webmockr on cran this week sometime

That's awesome. Thanks again.

@dickoa i think this is working, if you get a chance test and let me know. I can't seem to remember if there was a specific example that didn't work, so I wrote a bunch of new tests and all seems okay, but it's possible I'm missing something

This is awesome @sckott, I will test it ASAP and report here.
That's a good way to start the year.
Thanks again and happy new year!
