postForm does not return response with headerfunction
RaymondMcT opened this issue · comments
When postForm is used with the headerfunction option set, it returns NULL instead of the proper response. It successfully completes the post, and reads the headers correctly, but the response is broken. I've tested it on a number of systems and number of different version in R and it's the same bug across the board. On Mac it outputs the response in gray font looking like a comment and on windows it does not output anything.

The bug also appears on this system.

You should also pass the writefunc (e.g. basicTextGatherer) along with the headerfunction.
