Frank Smith created ARROW-9418:
----------------------------------
Summary: nyc-taxi Parquet files not downloaded in binary mode on
Windows
Key: ARROW-9418
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9418
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: R
Affects Versions: 0.17.1
Reporter: Frank Smith
According to
[https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/utils/html/download.file.html]
"On Windows, if mode is not supplied (missing()) and url ends in one of .gz,
.bz2, .xz, .tgz, .zip, .rda, .rds or .RData, mode = "wb" is set such that a
binary transfer is done to help unwary users.
Code written to download binary files must use mode = "wb" (or "ab"), but the
problems incurred by a text transfer will only be seen on Windows."
