Hi Guys, First time posting here.
I have a CRAN package called GetTDData that downloads and reads public data from a government website ( http://www.tesouro.fazenda.gov.br/tesouro-direto-balanco-e-estatisticas). Recently (today), the website has changed its structure by removing permanent links of the files and creating a "random" html address for the files that really matter. This means that when I download the souce html code, I don't have the information for the actual links, but just a bunch of code. In the past I have dealed with this type of problem by forcing the renderization of the page using RSelenium with firefox or PhantomJS and then capturing the desired href locations. My question is, if integrate my code with RSelenium using firefox or PhantonJS, will it pass on all arquitectures (win, linux, solaris) of CRAN? I'm happy to hear any other ideas.
