Hi Adrian (Busy couple of days, so apologies for not replying to your off-list email.)
What is the output from library(XML) libxmlVersion() On my OSX machine(s), I get the same as you got on Windows - i.e. failed to load HTTP resource. But I have installed newer versions of libxml2 on my machines. D.
