stopped working: 'curl_modify_url' is not an exported object from 'namespace:curl'

[r0bis]

Thanks for the very useful package. I started using it again after a year or so. I have a problem - program stops and throws an error:

'curl_modify_url' is not an exported object from 'namespace:curl'

I tested with urlshorteneR::vgd_LinksShorten("https://google.com") and other services too.

Hi, I checked again @r0bis and it works on my end. What is your dev environment (mac/linux/R version) + version of my package (i hope you are using the latest one)

can you update curl to the latest release version ?

[dmpe]

I will try to fix by declaring curl as necessary dep - though will need to test it first. which will take some time depending if your curl upgrade will fix it.

Thanks, when trying to install from github I got a very clear error about my R version: ERROR: this R is version 4.3.1, package 'urlshorteneR' requires R >= 4.4

and the main reason for R being a bit out of date is that it can only be installed by IT, I guess I will need to speak with them to upgrade my R and Rstudio installation. UrlshorteneR is working fine on my home linux installation, which is up to date.
