Object of R6Class with static util methods for communication with the REST API of a GeoNetwork instance.

getUserAgent(): This method is used to get the user agent for performing GeoNetwork API requests. Here the user agent will be compound by geonapi package name and version.
getUserToken(user, pwd): This method is used to get the user authentication token for performing GeoNetwork API requests. Token is given a Base64 encoded string.
GET(url, path, token, verbose): This method performs a GET request for a given path to GeoNetwork REST API
PUT(url, path, token, filename, contentType, verbose): This method performs a PUT request for a given path to GeoNetwork REST API, to upload a file of name filename with given contentType
POST(url, path, token, content, contentType, encode, verbose): This method performs a POST request for a given path to GeoNetwork REST API, to post content of given contentType
DELETE(url, path, token, verbose): This method performs a DELETE request for a given GeoNetwork resource identified by a path in GeoNetwork REST API
parseResponseXML(req): Convenience method to parse XML response from GeoNetwork REST API. Although package httr suggests the use of xml2 package for handling XML, geonapi still relies on the package XML. Response from httr is retrieved as text, and then parsed as XML 'xmlParse' function.
getPayloadXML(obj): Convenience method to create payload XML to send to GeoNetwork.
