That's not the point. When it is repped to length 300, it causes a
segfault for me. When it is repped to a length of say, 250 - it simply
doesn't work properly (as one would expect, because as you so correctly
pointed out 'aaaaaaa....' isn't a URL. My point here was to demonstrate
the segfaulting due to excessively long strings, which at least for me,
does not seem to be tied to a URL being valid or not.
Here:
z <- paste("http://www.r-project.org/";, paste(rep("a", 200),
collapse=""))
browseURL(z)
This gives an error that the URL does not exist.
z <- paste("http://www.r-project.org/";, paste(rep("a", 300),
collapse=""))
browseURL(z)
This causes a segfault.
