Hi,
Following an example I've received from Phil Spector, I am trying to get
a remote file by using download file.
The concerned remote server doesn't username and password passed with
the URL, thus this line fails...
download.file('http://username:password at xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02','RG02',method='wget')
I can get a free access file without any problem
download.file('http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample01?xpage=plain','RG01',method='wget')
But, of course, access to a protected one fails...
download.file('http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02?xpage=plain','RG02',method='wget')
*Wget does the trick *when executed from the comman line with the
following parameters...
wget --http-user=DummyDummy --http-password=dummy --auth-no-challenge
http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02?xpage=plain
Please, is it possible to pass these parameters to the method wget in
download.file?
Thank you for your help,
Ricardo
