R named lists with keywords and postForm in RCurl

Question

I'm trying to use postForm to log in to a website. The form requires a field called "next". postForm takes the form fields as a list called .params. But R cannot have a list where one of the names is "next":

> list(next="hi")
Error: unexpected '=' in "list(next="

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Did you try quotes:

list('next'="hi")
