Hi all, I used to connect internet via a proxy. Before update packages I wrote in R Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http://proxy3.redegov.sp.gov.br:80/") Nevertheless the way the connection is done has changed. For example, in the browser the proxy is not indicated and I have to give an username and a password to have access to internet. I read the FAQ and the help for

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

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

gday R gurus, I've never attempted to use download.file before on my win2k machine but this version 1.4 looks exciting. However, I'm not getting something right. I've passed my R shortcut --internet2 and I can tell it's using the wininet calls because it's asking about authentication but how do I tell it my username/password? The help file only talks about user/pw for non

[Not sure if such wishlist item should go to R-help or R-devel...] It would be nice if an option can be added to the R for Windows installer that will add the --internet2 option to the command line in the shortcut that gets created. Also, is it possible to make that an option that can be set at the R prompt, or perhaps even better, as the default no matter how/where R is started? For those of

Hi all; I?m working with the latest version of R under Win2000. My internet connection (using a proxy) requires my username and password. In this situation I?m not able to update the packages from CRAN (unless I download and install them from a local drive). I tried looking at information on the list servers but I couldn?t figure out how to change 'environment variables' or something like

Dear R users, I have a problem in the configuration of R: I just changed university, and my conection to the net is via a password, which permits me to access the packages with no problem via the internet explorer (version 6). I just updated R to R 1.81, and I cannot download nether upgrade packages (and many are not working with the update!!!). I have been looking in the help and emails, and

Dear R staff I'm a osu Ph.D. I have a problem with Linux. I usually start R on Windows OS by dos shell: c:\Program Files\R\R-2.2.1\bin\Rgui.exe --internet2 With no script --internet2 i can't connect to bioconductor to download bioconductor packages.

Is it possible to rsync through a firewall that requires HTTP basic authentication? The RSYNC_PROXY variable seems to correctly direct the request to go through the HTTP proxy server on the firewall, but there's no way to specify a username/password combo. The error message reported by rsync is "bad response from proxy - HTTP/1.1 401 Authentication required", which is not

This reminds me of a question I've never asked yet: Is there a trick to make this work when a username authentication is required for using the proxy? I need a user name and a password to connect to the Internet, and so I get: > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major

Hello, I a proxy connection to the internet, so I renamed the file 'internet2.dll' to 'internet.dll' in the Module subdirectory as suggested in Changes. But I still get an error when trying to update packages: 'Rgui.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows' Any hint would be appreciated. I know this has been discussed before but I do not seem to find the

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

Hi I can't get R to connect to the internet. I am running R 1.7.1 on Windows XP and whenever I try to download packages etc from within R using the internet, it fails.

BUT i can't set up a shortcut for this as Windows (I hate Windows) complains

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password).

Could somebody please assist with the problem I have now. At our university certain changes have been made to users regarding accessing the internet.
