I add this myself, since some strange 'alternative HTML version deleted' thingy
cut my post short. Here is the rest:
To the more elaborate:
h <- getCurlHandle(header = TRUE,
userpwd = "user:password",
netrc = TRUE,
followlocation = TRUE
)
install.packages(getURL("http://www.myServer.se/myRepo/";,
verbose = TRUE,
curl = h
),
pkgs='myLib',
dep=TRUE
)
But it's not working. The last call is complaining of a missing index.html. And
if I put one under myRepo, I get connected to that page, but install.packages
can't go further to the src directory on the server. This is what I get:
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
