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 everybody, I think that I am missing something fundamental in how strings are passed from a postForm() call in R to the curl or libcurl functions underneath. For example, I can do the following using curl from the command line: $ curl -d "Archbishop Huxley" "http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org/text2people"

Hi, I am trying to use a CGI service (Pubchem PUG) via RCurl and am running into a problem where the data must be supplied via POST - but I don't know the keyword for the argument.

I am having trouble with the postForm function in RCurl. I want to send a the command DELETE https://somewebsite.com.json but I can't seem to find it. I could try: postForm(url, _method="DELETE", .opts = list(username:password) ) but I get the error: Error: unexpected input in " postForm(url4, _" this error seems to be due to the underscore "_"

Hi, I am working with the RCurl package and I am using the curlPerform function for an soap-query. The problem is that the code is usually working well, but sometimes the connection gets lost. So I wrote a while-loop to repeat the query if anything might happened so that the same query runs again, but if the query-faults it takes a very long time for the repetition. My question is if there

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.

Dear R-Help, I am looking into using the Open Calais web service (http:// sws.clearforest.com/calaisViewer/) for text mining purposes.

Hello. I know that it's usually possible to write cookies to a cookie file by removing the curl handle and doing a gc() call. I can do this with getURL(), but I just can't obtain the same results with postForm(). If I use: curlHandle <- getCurlHandle(cookiefile=FILE, cookiejar=FILE) and then do: getURL(http://example.com/script.cgi, curl=curlHandle) rm(curlHandle) gc() it's

Dear colleagues, Could I get some assistance using postForm() to scrape the business names and addresses at this website: http://www.brantford.ca/business/LocalBusinessCommunity/Pages/BusinessDirectorySearch.aspx I've read through (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/RCurlJSS.pdf) and scoured the web for tutorials, but I can't crack it. I'm aware that this is probably a pretty basic

Hi all, I''ve been looking for a good example for how one would build a module, but I couldn''t really find something that I liked, so I went ahead and tried to do it myself. The result is this: a git module (see attachment). Please have a look and comment on it, before I add it to the wiki.
