Hi, I am using xmlToList() in a loop with a call to a webservice, per the code below.
# Loop thru target locs for(i in 1:num.target.locs) { url <- paste(sep="/", "http://www.earthtools.org/timezone", lat[i], lon[i]) tmp <- xmlToList(url) df$time.offset[i] <- tmp$offset system("sleep 1") # wait 1 second per requirements of above web service } # end loop thru target locations Failure struck midway through my loop, with the message below. failed to load HTTP resource Error: 1: failed to load HTTP resource I presume that the webservice failed to respond in this instance. How can I trap the error and have it retry after waiting a second or two, instead of exiting? Thanks. --Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, WA, USA scott.waich...@pnnl.gov ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
