title: RCurl postform taking very long time with large datasets
body: <pre><code>require(RCurl)
  RAW.API &lt;- postForm(REDcap.URL, token=Redcap.token, content="record", 
         type="flat", format="csv", rawOrLabel="Label", 
         .opts=curlOptions(ssl.verifypeer=TRUE, cainfo=REDCap.crt, 
         verbose=FALSE))
  
  data &lt;-   read.table(file = textConnection(RAW.API), header = TRUE, 
            sep = ",", na.strings = "", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am using such code to pull data from Redcap into R.The problem is when dealing with large dataset for my case >19,000 records its taking a lot of time even aborting at times. Is there a way to enhance the code above or may be subset the data with date.</p>
