Save system specific SSL settings for contacting Ensembl

On some systems specific SSL settings have to be applied to allow https connections to the Ensembl servers. This function allows these to be saved in the biomaRt cache, so they will be retrieved each time they are needed. biomaRt will try to determine them automatically, but this function can be used to set them manually if required.

Usage

setEnsemblSSL(settings)

Arguments

settings

A named list. Each entry should be a valid curl option, as found in curl::curl_options().

} # }
