+     "The package allows one to compose general HTTP requests and provides
+convenient functions to fetch URIs, GET and POST forms, etc. and process the
+results returned by the Web server.  This provides a great deal of control
+over the HTTP/FTP/... connection and the form of the request while providing a
+higher-level interface than is available just using R socket connections.
+Additionally, the underlying implementation is robust and extensive,
+supporting FTP/FTPS/TFTP (uploads and downloads), SSL/HTTPS, telnet, dict,
+ldap, and also supports cookies, redirects, authentication, etc.")
