Re: [R] R version 4.2.1 install.packages does not work with IE proxy setting
Hallo Howard Thanks, for the time being the previous workaround with wininet options works for me. I will wait for the new R version and then try to persuade our IT to make relevant changes.

Re: [R] R version 4.2.1 install.packages does not work with IE proxy setting
Petr, You also might want to check out the bug reported here: https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18379 it was fixed and the last two comments discuss how to handle it in Windows: you add a new User Environment Variable: R_LIBCURL_SSL_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT and set it to TRUE This fix is in R-4.2.1 Patched (I don't know if it has made it out to the full distribution) and works in my 'corporate' environment. Perhaps it also applies to your environment.

R 4.1 deprecated the use of download.file(method = 'wininet'). R 4.2 switched the default download method to 'libcurl' and started giving warnings for 'wininet' and http[s]:// URLs. A workaround to get it working right now would be to set options(download.file.method = 'wininet') and live with the resulting warnings while R downloads the files, but a next version of R may remove 'wininet' support altogether. In order to get it working with the 'libcurl' method, you'll need to provide some environment variables to curl: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2022-September/475917.html Not sure if libcurl would accept a patch to discover the Windows proxy settings automatically, but I don't think it does that now. -- Best regards, Ivan __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] R version 4.2.1 install.packages does not work with IE proxy setting
Dear all
After we installed new R version R 4.2.1 installing packages through IE
proxy setting is compromised with warning that R could not connect to server
(tested in vanilla R).
> chooseCRANmirror()
Warning: failed to download mirrors file (cannot open URL
'https://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv'); using local file
'D:/programy/R/doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv'
Warning message:
In download.file(url, destfile = f, quiet = TRUE) :
URL 'https://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv': status was 'Couldn't
connect to server'
So install.packages("whatever") also ends with similar warnings.
When using directly (without proxy need) install.packages works as expected.
In R4.1.0 version it works as expected, without any warnings and packages
could be installed smoothly.
Is it known issue with this version?
Could it be due to somehow corrupted installation?
Should we set something differently for this new R version
Best regards
Petr
