Hello,
R 4.0.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, sessionInfo below.
I'm also unable to read the file with Rscript from the Ubuntu terminal
but the error is not the same as the OP's.
The first try was a file test1.R with the following commands.
x<-"https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=1&render=download";
read.csv(x, as.is=TRUE, na="n/a")
And run with Rscript
rui@rui:~$ Rscript --vanilla test1.R
Error in file(file, "rt") :
cannot open the connection to
'https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=1&render=download'
Calls: read.csv -> read.table -> file
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open URL
'https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=1&render=download':
HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'
Execution halted
The second try was download.file() and then read it.
File test2.R is:
x<-"https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=1&render=download";
download.file(x, "companylist.csv")
read.csv("companylist.csv", as.is=TRUE, na="n/a")
But this too failed with error 403 Forbiden.
rui@rui:~$ Rscript --vanilla test2.R
trying URL
'https://old.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=1&render=download'
Error in download.file(x, "companylist.csv") :

In addition: Warning message:

Works fine in Windows 10 64-bit with R-4.0.2, so I would echo Bert
Gunter's advise to try r-sig-debian list.
