Bug: Executing `http::GET()` in parallel results in an error when no single core GET request was issued before. about httr HOT 7 CLOSED

Based on among others https://community.rstudio.com/t/running-parallel-on-mac/142580/6, I have set OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY in environ to YES:

Sys.getenv("OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY")
[1] "YES"

But no change.

httr has been superseded by httr2, so no further development work will happen. I'd recommend giving httr2::req_perform_parallel() a go since it does parallel requests in a way that actually works (i.e. using curl's parallel request facilities).

Thanks - I'll look into httr2. Although httr2::req_perform_parallel() is unfortunately an option, as the call ia=s in a package.

Why isn't it an option?

It is not my package....

And also, parallel calls can cause problems due to API restrictions of that specific api - so it needs to be handled with care.

Oh got it.
