Hi All, I am trying to parse some information from website, say, a linkedin page. The linkedin url was
url = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu"; I had no problem to use readLines and XML package to collect the information I need. However, that url became " https://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu"; now. url = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu"; It failed readLines function. > readLines(url) Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(con, "r") : unsupported URL scheme Do you know any way to read-in web information if the url is https? Thanks a lot.
