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?

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

Hello everyone, I run R on Gentoo Linux and this week I upgraded R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy.
