I am trying to get the following command to work:
> sshInfo <- rerddap::info('hawaii_soest_f75b_adc6_12ab', url =
> 'https://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/erddap/')
On a Mac at least (but I know for a fact not necessarily on other OSes) I get:
> Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(x$url$url, handle = x$url$handle) :
> SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
Parenthetically, this also happened with R itself awhile back where an
intermediate cert on the search path had expired, not the cert of the service
itself, and depending on which implementation of ssl was used, it either
ignored it or threw an error, as in this case. Someone I am working with on
another OS can indeed run the same command, so if your particular OS may not
have an issue
Anyhow, for a problem a I am working on I need to access this server with that
and related commands. 'rerddap::info()' allows me to pass curl options, and
normally with Curl you can get around the expired certificate using the '-k'
or '--insecure' option. When I look at:
> curl::curl_options()
I do not see this option. I do not understand all the options listed there, so
maybe that option is in a different form that I am missing. Or is there another
way around this still using 'curl' . Using another function that does similar
to 'curl' is not an option, because I need the 'rerddap::info()' call which
calls a package called "crul" which ultimately calls 'curl'.
Thanks,
-Roy
PS - And yes I informed the owner of the site about the expired certificate,
that was a couple of weeks ago.
