I can use the gutenberg_download() function in the gutenbergr package
on a computer that doeson't use a firewall, but on an almost identical
installation that is behind a firewall, nothing happens, not even a
time-out.
Has anyone succeeded in using gutenberg_download() successfully with a
firewall? I tried raising an issue at
https://github.com/ropenscilabs/gutenbergr/issues/17 with no usable
response. I also tried contacting the maintainer but got no response.
The firewall might be a red-herring, but I thought it worthwhile
eliminating it as a factor.
I would welcome any information on anyone else's experience.
Thank you.

Saying "a firewall" is like saying "a weapon". Some firewalls are much more strict than others, and yours may be different than any someone here might have encountered. You might also be having trouble with anti virus software. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

My question was to ascertain whether anyone had a similar problem with
their firewall before I make a request to the controllers of our
firewall. With any luck, I might get information that will be useful
in ascertaining where the bottle-neck is.
So far, nobody has indicated that they can use gutenberg_download if
they're behind a firewall, which might indicate that it is not
possible to do, whatever the firewall settings are. If that's the
case, I may as well not bother trying to get our firewall warrior to
work out what can be changed and still achieve what is considered
necessary.
Anyone succeed?
