Hi, I am trying to download data off of this web site http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/wrgp/mogas_history.html I used to set the proxy following code to set the proxy Sys.setenv(wget="http://username:password@"proxy server":port")
You forgot the report the error after trying this line of code, the error is expected to be
Error: unexpected symbol in " Sys.setenv(wget="http://username:password@"proxy"
If you need double inner quotes, either escape them or use single outer quotes as in:
Sys.setenv(wget='http://username:password@"proxy server":port') Uwe Ligges
I used the following code to download the data GAS<-read.table("http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/xls/pswrgvwall.csv" , sep="," , header="T") Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : unable to connect to 'www.eia.gov' on port 80. Am I setting the proxy correctly? Thanks for your help.
