Dear list,
I am trying to use RGoogleDocs, but I am connecting through a proxy server. I know RCurl is used for the connection, which should be able to deal with proxies and such. How do I set this up for RCurl? And can I use those settings with RGoogleDocs as well? I have the name of the proxy server and the port number. (Windows XP). thanks, Remko ------------------------------------------------- Remko Duursma Post-Doctoral Fellow Centre for Plants and the Environment University of Western Sydney Hawkesbury Campus Richmond NSW 2753 Dept of Biological Science Macquarie University North Ryde NSW 2109 Australia Mobile: +61 (0)422 096908 www.remkoduursma.com ______________________________________________ [hidden email] mailing list 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. |

This might be a little difficult in the current version. But it is a good point. I have a few ideas about this could be done conveniently but with a reasonably clear semantic model. It may take a couple of days before I have time to implement that. D.

Hi Remko
There is a new version (1.1-0) of the RCurl package (on which RGoogleDocs depends) (no binary for Windows at this point). This version allows one to specify default curl options that are used each time a new curl handle/object is created. You set these defaults in R's own options() list, e.g. options( RCurlOptions = list(verbose = TRUE, proxy = "host:port", noproxy = "www.nytimes.com")) The proxy option is most likely what you need to set. You can specify the host, port, user and password in this string. Or you can specify the user:password string via the 'proxyuserpwd' option. You can even specify the mechanism to use for authenticating the user via the 'proxyauth' option. libcurl (and hence RCurl) has several different options related to proxies http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html D.

Duncan,
I tested the new RCurl with the proxy option, and it works great (I tested a curlPerform example, which does not work otherwise). Problem with RGoogleDocs though: > auth = getGoogleAuth("[hidden email]", GPASS) Error in strsplit(type, "/")[[1]] : subscript out of bounds If I get the Google Docs authorization by turning the proxy off; options( RCurlOptions = list(verbose = TRUE, proxy = "")) And then turn it back on, I can connect just fine. thanks, Remko ------------------------------------------------- Remko Duursma Post-Doctoral Fellow Centre for Plants and the Environment University of Western Sydney Hawkesbury Campus Richmond NSW 2753 Dept of Biological Science Macquarie University North Ryde NSW 2109 Australia Mobile: +61 (0)422 096908 www.remkoduursma.com On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 12:02 AM, Duncan Temple Lang<[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Remko > > There is a new version (1.1-0) of the RCurl package > (on which RGoogleDocs depends) (no binary for Windows at this point). > > This version allows one to specify default curl options that are used each > time a new curl handle/object is created. > > You set these defaults in R's own options() list, e.g. > > options( RCurlOptions = list(verbose = TRUE, > proxy = "host:port", > noproxy = "www.nytimes.com")) > > > The proxy option is most likely what you need to set. > You can specify the host, port, user and password in this string. > Or you can specify the user:password string via the 'proxyuserpwd' > option.
