Hi there
I'm trying to configure R to get access to the internet.
Using the Internet Explorer a proxy .pac script is used.
Reading some older threads I found that I can use the --internet2 option.
When choosing a mirror I get the error: "407 Proxy Authentication Required".
This seems reasonable since I have to log in when using the IE as well. But
where do I enter username and password in R?
Sys.setenv(http_proxy_user="ask") or Sys.setenv(http_proxy_user="ask") does
not help. (And is not needed for the internet2 option as far as I am
informed)
Any help appreciated
When using --internet2, all of the http work is handled by IE. So you
need to find a way to tell IE to handle the authentication.
I'd guess that starting an instance of IE would do it for you, but I
don't use a proxy, so I can't try.
