[Bioc-devel] A question about using proxy when developing R package

Hello,
I am developing a R package. As I have to use a proxy to
access the internet, so I used the function "setInternet2()" in R to
download CRAN packages. But now I am writing a sweave based help file
in Lyx software. In this help file, the "download.file" function was
used in a example code. So I just used "setInternet2()" in this help
file. Of course it is not good as the end user need not a proxy. Does
anyone know how to resolve this problem?
I think you want to use a different approach to configuring your own computer to use the proxy. Arrange to start R with the --internet2 option, or (perhaps only R-devel?) set the environment variable R_WIN_INTERNET2 on your system. See the R windows FAQ http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html Martin
Thanks for the reply.
