At this point, I'm giving up on this issue. The stage of our project requiring daily use of Google Docs ended, thankfully, about a week before this problem arose. I was able to just export the spreadsheet for further analysis, rather than relying on the Google Spreadsheet. If this problem had arisen a week earlier, it would have been a catastrophe, however. Now, though, I don't really have time to keep trying to track this down.
I'm disappointed that we couldn't find a solution. It was very useful when it worked. (Tal, yes, I just tried it on another machine with a fresh R and packages install. No joy.) -Harlan On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 2:38 PM, Harlan Harris <har...@harris.name> wrote: > No joy for me. :( > > I'd had version 0.4-1 installed previously, and re-pulling that URL and > reinstalling, plus setting RCurlOptions as specified, do not help for me. > Exactly the same behavior.
