Dirk,
Thank you for your elaboration. This issue is related to curl trusting a CA
cert as its called by R.
curl called from bash recognizes the system cert bundle for CA's, curl
called from R does not.
may I know how to trust the system certificate bundle from within R?

You mean when you look at the directory in a browser?
Should not matter. Use any command-line client (wget, curl, ...) or R's
download.file() to slurp down http://$MYSERVER/src/contrib/PACKAGES to
inspect, compare, ... -- and that is an absolute path so the index does not
matter.
