In httr2: Perform HTTP Requests and Process the Responses

#' Modify request URL
#'
#' @description
#' * `req_url()` replaces the entire url
#' * `req_url_query()` modifies the components of the query
#' * `req_url_path()` modifies the path
#' * `req_url_path_append()` adds to the path
#'
#' @inheritParams req_perform
#' @param url New URL; completely replaces existing.
#' @param ... For `req_url_query()`: <[`dynamic-dots`][rlang::dyn-dots]>
#'   Name-value pairs that define query parameters. Each value must be either
#'   an atomic vector or `NULL` (which removes the corresponding parameters).
#'   If you want to opt out of escaping, wrap strings in `I()`.
#'
#'   For `req_url_path()` and `req_url_path_append()`: A sequence of path
#'   components that will be combined with `/`.
#' @returns A modified HTTP [request].
#' @export
#' @examples
#' req <- request("http://example.com")

#'   req_url_path_append("a") |>

#' req |> req_url_query(id = 100:105, .multi = "comma")
#' req |> req_url_query(id = 100:105, .multi = "explode")

#' @export
#' @rdname req_url
#' @param .multi Controls what happens when an element of `...` is a vector
#'   containing multiple values:
#'
#'   * `"error"`, the default, throws an error.
#'   * `"comma"`, separates values with a `,`, e.g. `?x=1,2`.
#'   * `"pipe"`, separates values with a `|`, e.g. `?x=1|2`.
#'   * `"explode"`, turns each element into its own parameter, e.g. `?x=1&x=2`.
#'
#'   If none of these functions work, you can alternatively supply a function
#'   that takes a character vector and returns a string.
