I don't know how Henrique did it, but in Firefox one can go to the Downloads panel and right click on the downloaded file and choose "Copy Download link" (or something similar) and get:

Well it seems to mean that the file has moved. It , to my untrained eye, seems to be in the same sport as it was yesterday BTW I am now talking about


dd <- "https://sites.google.com/site/jrkrideau/home/general-stores/duplicates.csv "

Would this indicate it's physically moving on googe servers?



I had not realised there was something like rawToChar(). Amazing what R does.

Thank ,

Take a look on the return of:

 rawToChar(x)

Your original file is no longer there, but when I try RCurl

with a png file

that is present, I get a certificate error:



Dieter



Since replaced with

dd <- "https://sites.google.com/site/jrkrideau/home/general-stores/duplicates.csv "





library(RCurl)

dd <- "https://sites.google.com/site/jrkrideau/home/general-stores/duplicates.csv "

x = getBinaryURL(dd, ssl.verifypeer = FALSE)



seems to be downloading a binary file.



Thanks
