Hi Patrick, Greetings from !(sunny) Pittsburgh. What's the scoop on RCurl on windows (XP)? I've tried to install RCurl_0.92-0.zip and RCurl_0.9-3.zip, with both R 2.7.2 and R 2.8.0 from the RGUI (utils:::menuInstallLocal), and get the error "Windows binary packages in zipfiles are not supported". which (according to google's one and only hit) comes fro...

Dear list members, I encountered this problem and the solution pointed out in a previous thread did not work for me. (e.g. install.packages("RCurl", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R") I work with Ubuntu Hardy, and installed R 2.6.2 via apt-get. I really need RCurl in order to use biomaRt ... any help would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Emmanuel ================================================= > sessionInfo()...

...I also thought about removing curl from my system, but when starting to do so with Synaptic, it looked like if I removed libcurl I would trash an awful lot of my system. I did download and install the latest curl 7.18.1 on top of the other one, put /usr/local/ to the start of my PATH, reinstalled RCurl, and still the same erro message comes up. So, what does it mean that the output of nm is different on our systems and is it important? Thanks, Mark mkimpel-m90 ~/bin/curl-7.18.1: nm /home/mkimpel/R_HOME/site-library-2.7.0/RCurl/libs/RCurl.so | grep base64_encode U Curl_base64_e...

Dear list, I would like to call a Kerberos-authenticated web-service from within R. Curl can do it: $ curl --negotiate -u : "http://my.web.service/" so I would expect that RCurl also has the capability, but I have not been able to find the correct options to set. listCurlOptions() does not return anything with negotiate, and searching the source of RCurl, the only thing I found was ./RCurl/R/curlInfo.S:names(CurlFeatureBits) = c("ipv6", "kerberos4",...

...web scraping task, which requires a multi-step procedure: 1) log in to a website 2) Go to a particular page 3) From the drop down menu, click on a particular link 4) From the tabulated data presented, choose relevant information based on a filter on the date column. I am not highly acquainted with RCurl or CURL for that matter. I've used Perl extensively and know that such tasks are more suitable for such scripting tools as Perl which have an efficient regex engine and a great number of modules/packages for such web scraping tasks. I am investigating RCurl's capabilities since I wish to u...

...wer of Prof Ripley. ___________________________________________________ Below is a reproducing example that produces the crash. If I do exactly the same in R 3.1.2, it works perfectly. I have the lastest libcurl library (curl @7.40.0) installed So, perhaps indeed that the problem originates from RCurl, but the problem appears only in R 3.2. But before to check more carefully, I would like to know if others have also a problem using the same configuration : MacOS X 10.10.2 and R 3.2 or if it is only for me ? Sincerely, Marc Reproducible example: R Under development (unstable) (2015-02-05 r...

Hi, I am trying to access a website and read its content. The website is a restricted access website that I access through a proxy server (which therefore requires me to enable cookies). I have problems in allowing Rcurl to receive and send cookies. The following lines give me: library(RCurl) library(XML) url <- "http://www.theurl.com" content <- readHTMLTable(url) content $`NULL`...

Hi everyone, I have to fetch about 300 to 500 zipped archives from a remote ftp server. Each of the archive is about 1Mb. I know I can get it done by using download.file() in R, but I am curious that is there a faster way to do this using RCurl. For example, are there some parameters that I can set so that the connection does not need to be rebuilt....etc. A even simpler question is, how can I fetch an archive from the server and place it somewhere locally? I have spent a lot of time reading RCurl documents and curl web pages but in vai...

...I am having trouble getting the curlPerform function to authenticate using the .netrc file. From the documentation I've read it certainly seems as though this function should be able to authenticate via the .netrc file. The example I am using here comes from the "R as a Web Client- the RCurl package" paper and demonstrates using the .netrc file to access the www.omegahat.org page. Authentication takes place by RCurl (curl) reading the username and password out of the .netrc file in the user's home directory. For this example the username is bob and password is welcome. Th...
