Have I misunderstood the syntax?

It's an old version on Windows.  I haven't used Windows R since then.

month          03                                         
day            16                                         


I've tried R-3.5.0 and R-3.5.1 Linux versions.

In case it's material ... 

I couldn't get the scraping to work on either of the R installations
but Windows users told me it worked for them.  So I thought I'd get
the R object and use it.  I could understand accessing the web address
could have different permissions for different OSes, but should that
affect the R objects?

TIA
