That might make sense.  For your particular problem though, using
library(process) also merely gets you a stream, which is exactly
what http_open/3 gives you.  I don't really get the point, unless
there is some feature that http_open/3 doesn't do.  It should be
happy to do HTTP, HTTPS, redirects, authentication and proxies.
