Hi all, I need to test if a url exists. I used url.exists() in RCurl package
library(RCurl) however the test result is kind of weird. For example, > url.exists("http://www.amazon.com") [1] FALSE although www.amazon.com<http://www.amazon.com> is a valid url. Does anybody know how to use that function correctly or the other way to test url existence? Thanks.
