Hi,
I recently installed version 3.2.3. When I call
install.packages("RCurl")
I get a pop-up menu labelled "HTTPS CRAN Mirror" with a shortish list of
mirrors. However, I don't seem to be able to reach any of these
mirrors, and always get an error like the following
Error in download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) :
unsupported URL scheme
Warning: unable to access index for repository
https://cran.uni-muenster.de/src/contrib:
unsupported URL scheme
Warning message:
package ‘RCurl’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3)
If I choose the menu entry "(HTTP mirrors)" I get the list of HTTP
mirrors with which I am familiar from previous versions of R. These
mirrors I can reach.
I assume I have some local, probably firewall-related problem, but can
someone confirm that the HTTPS mirrors do indeed work?
Cheers,
Loris
