similar to: Installation error for RCurl in Redhat enterrpise 5

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 from a perl script.

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

Dear R-help, I want to download the text from a web page, however what i end up with is the html code. Is there some option that i am missing in the RCurl package? Or is there another way to achieve this? This is the code i am using: > library(RCurl) > my.url <- 'https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help' > html.file <- getURI(my.url, ssl.verifyhost = FALSE,

Martin, Well, thanks for jumping in! We need all the help we can get ;) I changed the execute bit as you suggested and recompiled, no luck, still the same error message. Below is the output you wanted me to look at, its a bit beyond me so I include both a brief grep summary and then the whole enchilada. I do note that my output is different from yours, but I'm not sure how to interpret. I

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

Dear all, I am trying to install RCurl (because I want to install devtools) and to do so I've been informed that I must install one of the packages libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurl4-nss-dev No matter which one I install I get the following error from R: * installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ... ** package ‘RCurl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked checking for curl-config...

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

Hi List, I am trying to leverage my knowledge of R in trying to use it for tasks that may not make R the best choice for these tasks. I wish to automate a 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

Hello, 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

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

Dear R-Users, I am having some trouble getting an installation of RCurl 0.8-1 to work properly on a Debian (Etch) machine.

Hello, I don't know if the problem originates from R-devel 3.2 or Rcurl itself.

According to [1] and [2], using RCurl to post a form with basic authentication is done using the postForm method. I'm trying to post generated interpolation data from R onto an HTTP form. The call I'm using is page <- postForm('http://our.server.com/dbInt/new', opts = curlOptions=(userpwd="test:test", verbose=T), profileid = "-1", value="1.801",

Dear Rexperts, I am using R to query google. I am getting different results (in size) for manual queries and queries sent through "getForm" of RCurl. It seems that RCurl limits the size of the text retrieved (the maximum I could get is around 32 k bits). Any idea how to get around this ? Thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I am trying to use RGoogleDocs, but I am connecting through a proxy server. I know RCurl is used for the connection, which should be able to deal with proxies and such. How do I set this up for RCurl? And can I use those settings with RGoogleDocs as well? I have the name of the proxy server and the port number. (Windows XP). thanks, Remko
