\alias{findHTTPHeaderEncoding}
\title{Find the encoding of the HTTP response from the HTTP header}
\description{
  This function is currently made available so it can be called
  from C code to find the charset from the HTTP header in the
  response from an HTTP server. It maps this charset value
  to one of the known R encodings (UTF-8 or LATIN1)
  or returns the native encoding.

  This will most likely be removed in the future.
}
\usage{
findHTTPHeaderEncoding(str)
}
\arguments{
  \item{str}{one or more lines from the HTTP header}
}
\value{
  \code{NA} or an integer value indicating the encoding
  to be used. This integer corresponds to the \code{cetype_t}  enumeration
  in Rinternals.h.
