Help with Download of a comma separated file in zip format
I was able to download it specifying the method as "curl", like this:
download.file("http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2014/JUL/fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip", temp, method="curl")

Many thanks Ista. I will try other routes as well. Thanks Jeff and sorry for posting without abiding by the rules. Thanks James. I would rather automate this than download manually everytime. That is my intent. Best Balaji On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 7:16 PM, Ista Zahn <istazahn at gmail.com> wrote:
Not an R question, but see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cliget/ for an easy way to see what what is going on under the hood when you download using firefox. For your example I get wget --header='Host: www.nseindia.com' --header='User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0' --header='Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' --header='Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --header='Connection: keep-alive' ' http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2014/JUL/fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip ' -O 'fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip' -c Now you just need to translate that to R. (Or not, sometimes its easier to just shell out (using e.g., 'system()' ) and download with wget or curl).

Dear Experts
I am new to this forum and to R and was trying the following to access a
zip file from the webpages of the NSE. Here is my code.
temp <- tempfile()
download.file("
",temp) con <- unz(temp, "a1.dat") data <- matrix(scan(con),ncol=4,byrow=TRUE) unlink(temp) The result is: cannot open URL '
'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file("
: cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden' I tried accessing this file directly from the website and it is letting
me
access it. My question is why is it not letting me download from R? I
have
gone through some websites to see if this has been resolved but the older
resolutions also do not work. Can someone help please?
Thx
Balaji
