Might this be a firewall-like issue and nothing to do with html or R?
If I understand the 2.10 help system, it operates by starting R as an
http server - effectively a web server, operating on the local machine
(127.0.0.1) with an unusual IP port (which doesn;t seem to be consistent

Hi; I posted this to the R-help last week, but there was no resolution..
Could anybody provide an idea, or alternatively direct me to another

In addition to Marc's comments, you might want to use
setInternet2()
I am pretty sure this will get you past a firewall to r-project.org.
I think it might also get you access to 127.0.0.1.
Access to 127.0.0.1 is not explicitly mentioned in the help file ?setInternet2

Thanks for the ideas!
Marc:
I checked both of my installed browsers (IE8 and Firefox3.5.7), and neither
browser shows a proxy having been configured... Any other thoughts?
Richard:
I tried calling setInternet2(), and received the following output (and the
initial problem persists):
If you paste
http://127.0.0.1:12300/library/base/html/sum.html
directly into an IE window, will it find it? You need to do that

I suspect that you're right about the file association having been the
issue. .html files were not associated with either browser. However, I
fixed that by associating .html files with Firefox, but R still gave me the
