[R-pkg-devel] --as-cran URL check
I am having some trouble with a NOTE produced by an R-devel check of URL
references. The reference was
\url{http://som.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/reports/themeF/2005/05F10/}
which the --as-cran check finds has moved and notifies about the
redirected address
http://www.rug.nl/research/portal/publications/pub(d7d4ea3d-af1d-487a-b9b6-c0816994ef5a).html
My browser finds this, and does not distinguish it from
http://www.rug.nl/research/portal/publications/pub%28d7d4ea3d-af1d-487a-b9b6-c0816994ef5a%29.html
However, I cannot get either of these forms of the new address to work
in the man page and/or CITATION file \url{}. The first gives
Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
URL:
http://www.rug.nl/research/portal/publications/pub(d7d4ea3d-af1d-487a-b9b6-c0816994ef5a).html
From: man/estFAmodel.Rd
man/estTSFmodel.Rd
man/tsfa-package.Rd
inst/CITATION
Status: 500
Message: Internal Server Error
even though I can cut and paste that address from the error message into
my browser and it works fine. The second form results in a problem
parsing the Rd file, the end of the section is not recognized and for
the next section I get "unexpected section header '\examples'". I think
the percent signs cause the end of the line with the closing } to be
treated as a comment, but if I put the } on a new line the status 500
occurs. With the percent signs escaped in the second form I get the
status 500 error message as in the first form.
Is this a bug in the R-devel --as-cran URL check, or does anyone see
something I am missing?
Thanks,
Paul Gilbert

For that reason, I (and some other folks that I talked to) ended up removing
URLs creating such reports from documentation. The webchecker used by CRAN
in Vienna appears to be broken. It *should* follow redirect, yet it does not.
And if you can't beat'em ... you end up avoiding'em.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] --as-cran URL check
Put backslashes in front of the percent signs in the Rd file's URL:
\url{http://www.rug.nl/research/portal/publications/pub\%28d7d4ea3d-af1d-487a-b9b6-c0816994ef5a\%29.html}

Re: [R-pkg-devel] --as-cran URL check
No, that what I meant by "percent signs escaped". It just gets me back
to the status 500 error. I think Dirk may be correct that it is a bug in
the --as-can URL check.

Is this a bug in the R-devel --as-cran URL check, or does anyone see

Re: [R-pkg-devel] --as-cran URL check
I'm sorry, I hadn't noticed that the URL checks were not done because
of the note
Checking URLs requires 'libcurl' support in the R build
