I can't access the first URL directly - even from my web browser without R being involved at all. Is that "pid" a parcel ID that you need to be logged in to see? Or not a valid parcel id anymore? If you want to access a web site from R that needs a login/password then you need to send the appropriate login form info from R and keep the cookie session info that gets returned. Web sessions from R and from a web browser are independent.
