Hi,I recently installed version 3.2.3. When I call install.packages("RCurl") I get a pop-up menu labelled "HTTPS CRAN Mirror" with a shortish list of mirrors. However, I don't seem to be able to reach any of these mirrors, and always get an error like the following Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) : unsupported URL scheme Warning: unable to access index for repository https://cran.uni-muenster.de/src/contrib: unsupported URL scheme
That error message suggests the problem is in your build, e.g. possibly an out of date or missing libcurl. What does capabilities("libcurl") say?

Warning message: package ‘RCurl’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3) If I choose the menu entry "(HTTP mirrors)" I get the list of HTTP mirrors with which I am familiar from previous versions of R. These mirrors I can reach. I assume I have some local, probably firewall-related problem, but can someone confirm that the HTTPS mirrors do indeed work? Cheers, Loris
