Hi all, I'm looking into opening an url on a server which requires authentication.
After failing to find some kind of connection structure to fill in I turned to explicitly stating the credentials in the url itself (e.g. "http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). Sadly this didn't do the trick either and both source() and url() failed trying to resolve the username () Is there anything I missed in the documentation/internet/groups? If not could I maybe add to the existing R functions as it doesn't seem too far of a stretch to allow the username and password in the url string fed to the web server? Thanks, Damien ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
