hi, as I'm using R at Dell (where I am working), I manage to install packages from web, but there is a web proxy, which is pretty boring. R asks me to enter an active directory login/password, that would normally auth me through the web proxy, but it doesn't work. I'm looking forward for your help. Sorry if I used bad english. Any ideas ? Laurent -- «Un peu d'internationalisme éloigne de la patrie; beaucoup y ramène» Jean Jaurès@<http://www.le-valdo.com> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi Laurent,
You should look the R windows FAQ web page:
(a) Use the alternative |internet2.dll| by starting R with the flag
--internet2 (see How do I install R for Windows?
<http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#How-do-I-install-R-for-Windows_003f>)
which uses the Internet Explorer internals (and so needs Internet
Explorer 4 or later installed). Note that this does not work with
proxies that need authentication.
(b) A proxy needs to be set up: see |?download.file|. Here are two
versions of an example (a real one, but from a machine that is only
available locally) of a command-line in a short cut:
"path_to_R\bin\RGui.exe" http_proxy=http://user:pass at
gannet:80/
"path_to_R\bin\RGui.exe" http_proxy=http://gannet/
http_proxy_user=ask
The second version will prompt the user for the proxy username and
password when HTTP downloads are first used.

Please do read the R posting guide and supply essential information such as your OS (and not send HTML mail). If you are using Windows, see the rw-FAQ Q2.19. Note that R never asks you for `an active directory login/password': it may *if you ask it to* ask for proxy identification. Quite likely it is your local system and not R which is asking, and you need to seek local advice.
