tools::startDynamicHelp(): Randomly prevents R from exiting (on MS Windows)
ISSUE:
On MS Windows, running cmd.exe, calling
Rscript --vanilla -e "port <- tools::startDynamicHelp(); port; port <-
tools::startDynamicHelp(FALSE); port"
will sometimes stall R at the end, preventing it from existing. This
also happens when running R in interactive mode. It seems to stem
from calling tools::startDynamicHelp(FALSE).

starting html help for a package?
Dear all
Shouldn't this start the html help for the chosen package?
> help(package="boot", help_type = "html")
Instead, the text version is displayed in less (I believe). However, I
have no issues to start the html help with the following.

JGR GUI for R-2.10.0 "Help" "Print"
I have updated R 2.9.1 to 2.10.0. and JGR GUI 1.7. I am running Windows XP.
I can't seem to get the JGR "Print" or "Help" functions to work. The system
locks and requires me to "stop the process".
In the past I have preferred the opreation and "feel" of JGR GUI. I realize
that this help forum is for R; but, I am hoping that some other R-user is

RoR and Growing Pains
I have persuaded my company to move towards an RoR shop... from a PHP 5
(with in-house-built framework)... so the jump is not terribly bad. I''m
REALLY excited actually!
My problem: I am overwhelmed with all the setup Loops I have to jump
through to get RoR setup. I tried it on my current Apache 1.34 and
decided it''d be easier to make the Lighty (1.4.11) jump. So I did. I get

Use of tools:::httpdPort in a package for CRAN.
Hello,
I wrote a function to show the help/index page of a package in a
browser (and want to include this in an update for a CRAN package). I
asked in R-help how to obtain the 00Index.html file, Duncan Murdoch
suggested to inspect (see
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Obtain-00Index-html-tt4697661.html)

tools::startDynamicHelp(): Randomly prevents R from exiting (on MS Windows)
Thank you for confirming this. I just filed PR#18650
(https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18650).
FWIW, I've found two other issues with startDynamicHelp() prior to this:

Exposing native httpd server
R has a native HTTP server that is used for serving R help pages
interactively, at least on the loopback device (127.0.0.1)
But all of the working are internal, not exposed to user and not documented.
This is quite shame since the server seems to be fully capable of
handling basic tasks,
be it serving static websites or even interactively processing queries.
This was previously noticed by

help stored permanently
Hi,
Each > help.start() generates a new tree of the R help system, somewhere
in 127.0.0.1:xxx, each xxx being difeerent. This tree disappears when
exiting R. How can the current help tree copied to a permanent place for
reference outside a running R? This would be practical for not having to
enter M-x R .
TIA

Exposing native httpd server
Ji??,
in a sense there are two quite different issue that you are touching upon. On one hand, your request for exposing the http server is something I was pretty much expecting. In order to judge the appetite for it I have included the support for custom handlers back then as inofficial API specifically so that if anyone cares we could work on refining it (really only Jeff and Hadley ever asked

help.start() only recognizes forward slashes in R_LIBS_USER which is not the default case
I've found that the HTML help system started via help.start() requires
all forward slashes in R_LIBS_USER otherwise the Packages page is
corrupt/non-working. Note that by default R_LIBS_USER is set by R on
startup.
Example 1:
With R_LIBS_USER=C:/Users/JohnDoe/R/win-library/2.10
> help.start() [and go to "Packages"]
If nothing happens, you should open

Exposing native httpd server
Dear Simon and Jeroen,
thank you for your answers. I have to reiterate that I am out of my
depth in here. My knowledge of http is clicking links and not much
beyond that.
I will definitely look into `webutils` and `Rserve`.
One of the reason why I brought this issue is that I have a static site
generator that uses the pkg `servr` to serve the static site locally,
before I push it to github

SQL Server pains
I recently ran into the following problem: when running ''rake
clone_structure_to_test'', the task would spit out the following error
twice:
This program requires Microsoft SQLDMO 7.0 or later
After many attempts to download this library, I reinstalled the SQL
Server Client Tools. Still nothing. I tracked down the program that
rake was having problems with: scptxfr.exe.

I'f been use samba 2.x with 'pass through' authentication and would

Exposing native httpd server
I absolutely appreciate the desire for minimalism. On the other hand
Rserve has no dependencies other than R >= 1.5.0 (!!!), so you would in
any case be cutting your dependencies way down (`servr` has 16 recursive
dependencies of which 5 seem to be base/recommended, presumably this is
where your count of 12 came from; `Rserve` has none).
