I'm trying to feed data generated on-the-fly by a PHP script using R
function source(), passing the arguments in the URL, using GET method
("http://someserver.com/script.php?a=343&b=873";). If not on-the-fly, the
user has to wait more and get the data in more than one step.I'm trying a one-step simple method but for some reason the source() function truncates silently the data. I will try your suggestion of a binary file if I can generate the gzip stream on-the-fly... Thank you! .....................
