Hi Remko
There is a new version (1.1-0) of the RCurl package
(on which RGoogleDocs depends) (no binary for Windows at this point).
This version allows one to specify default curl options that are used
each time a new curl handle/object is created.
You set these defaults in R's own options() list, e.g.
options( RCurlOptions = list(verbose = TRUE,
proxy = "host:port",
noproxy = "www.nytimes.com"))
The proxy option is most likely what you need to set.
You can specify the host, port, user and password in this string.
Or you can specify the user:password string via the 'proxyuserpwd'
option. You can even specify the mechanism to use for authenticating
the user via the 'proxyauth' option.
libcurl (and hence RCurl) has several different options
related to proxies

Dear list,
I am trying to use RGoogleDocs, but I am connecting through a proxy server.
I know RCurl is used for the connection, which should be able to deal
with proxies and such.
How do I set this up for RCurl? And can I use those settings with
RGoogleDocs as well?
I have the name of the proxy server and the port number.
(Windows XP).
thanks,
Remko
