Hello, I am using R version 1.8.1 on a linux machine (Suse 8.2.). I have problems to use readLines() with urls. This seems to be a problem with our proxy-server. Downloading files work with download.file() with wget but not without: > download.file(url = "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES", destfile = "test.txt", method = "wget", cacheOK = FALSE)

Hi Thanks once again for your help, I do appreciate it..... however.... Here is what I get with your test....

Hi, I am trying to use R at work and at home on the same computer. At work, I have a proxy, and at home, I do not. I have, for work, a User environment variable "http_proxy" which I set in the OS (Windows XP Pro). When I am at work, and I try to retrieve data from the web with 'read.csv', things work just fine. I assume it knows how to use the proxy. The trouble is when I

I would like to use the getBioC.R script from http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R to install the biobase packages. Unfortunately, url() and download.file() die when trying to talk to my proxy: > getBioC("exprs") connect: Cannot assign requested address unable to connect to 'gproxy1.pfizer.com'. connect: Cannot assign requested address unable to connect to

Hi, I was trying to update packages with my R 1.6 under RedHat 8.0 system. When entering this command, > update.packages() It simply says, trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' But nothing happens. Is this a problem with my proxy setting since I am working behind a firewall? It seems so: > Sys.getenv("http_proxy") http_proxy

Hi I want to start the buil-in iexplore.exe. I created a new .wine directory and typed #wine iexplore.exe Then it tries to download the Mozilla ActiveX PlugIn and this is where the problem starts: The download window shows, but it doesn't start the download. I am sitting behind a proxy server (no authorisation needed), and the proxy is setup correctly: ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.sun.ac.za:3128

There have been quite a few questions recently about this, so I have tried to gather experience. I set up a proxy using Apache2 (a very common server) behind our firewall and tried various authentication approaches. One comment: all the methods return error messages when they fail. Please don't report `it doesn't work' without the full details. 1) For a proxy that authenticates

Hallo, what is the right way to set a proxy systemwide using centos 7? I need this for wget and docker. My first idea was /etc/environment but allthough the proxy is set wget and docker don? t connect to their target-systems. Thanks for hints Ralf

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")

Wrap the command around an heredoc only if setarch needs to be used; otherwise the heredoc will not be run at all.

Hello everybody, I'm trying to install rJava to use JRI in a Java program as JRI is a part of rJava. There should be the option to install this package via install.packages("rJava"). Unfortunately I'm connected to the internet via a proxy. I have no idea how to tell R to connect via the proxy. The R-help tells me something about environment variables like "http_proxy".

When running (eg) dnf on a 32 bit i686 guest when the host is 64 bit x86_64, dnf believes it is running on a 64 bit machine and so tries to install x86_64 packages. We can 'trick' dnf into believing it's a 32 bit machine using the setarch program. $ virt-builder fedora-22 --arch i686 --install 'gperf' ... [ 27.4] Installing packages: gperf ...

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

Add an helper function to run a command in the guest, checking for the host/guest compatibility.

Hi, I am using Tinn-R and somehow I cannot point it to start a R shortcut with http_proxy settings including authentification. It always shows the .exe. Is there any way to set the proxy from within R or any other ideas how to do it? I am using R 2.4 for Windows. Thanks a million, Werner

Yum using proxy that requires authentication and a Password that contains the two characters \/ fails normally I can get yum to work with a proxy that requires authentication when required by doing something like http_proxy=http://<my username>:<my password>@<proxy server>:<proxy server port> export http_proxy or by filling in the appropriate information in yum.conf.

Hi All, I have been trying to solve the issue of Xen-based Virtual Machines (as I described earlier); I have the problem of ethernet ports locked to a single Mac address in my lab--hence VM''s can''t communicate using bridging other than their own dom0. To further test/confirm, yesterday I took my laptop at home and connected to my Home-Hub (which issues DHCP based IPs); I

As a person new to R, I joined the list. I am a long-term member of the Stata list, which has a tradition of being very helpful to newbies. Imagine my surprise when my first day's mail included a rough rebuke to someone for asking a simple question (including mentioning that the poster had been reprimanded about this sort of thing before). In the week I've been on it, there have been

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
