Hello,
Using the official windows build of R 4.2.0 from the CRAN website I can
no longer download files from an internal website with a self signed
certificate. This worked under build 4.1.3.
I apologise that the url in the following example is not publicly
available and that the example is therefore not directly reproducible,
this is a necessary part of the problem due to dealing with self signed
certificates.
In 4.2.0:
libcurlVersion()
[1] "7.81.0"
attr(,"ssl_version")
[1] "(OpenSSL/1.1.1m) Schannel"
attr(,"libssh_version")
[1] "libssh2/1.10.0"
attr(,"protocols")
[1] "dict" "file" "ftp" "ftps" "gopher" "gophers" "http"
"https" "imap" "imaps" "ldap" "ldaps" "mqtt" "pop3"
"pop3s" "rtsp" "scp" "sftp"
download.file("https://my.site.com/index.html","./index.html",method="libcurl";)
trying URL 'https://my.site.com/index.html'
Error in download.file("https://my.site.com/index.html";, :
cannot open URL 'https://my.site.com/index.html'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file("https://my.site.com/index.html";, :
URL 'https://my.site.com/index.html': status was 'SSL peer
certificate or SSH remote key was not OK'
In 4.1.3:
libcurlVersion()
[1] "7.64.1"
attr(,"ssl_version")
[1] "(OpenSSL/1.1.1m) Schannel"
attr(,"libssh_version")
[1] "libssh2/1.8.2"
attr(,"protocols")
[1] "dict" "file" "ftp" "ftps" "gopher" "http" "https"
"imap" "imaps" "ldap" "ldaps" "pop3" "pop3s" "rtsp" "scp"
"sftp" "smtp" "smtps" "telnet"
[20] "tftp"
download.file("https://my.site.com/index.html","./index.html",method="libcurl";)
trying URL 'https://my.site.com/index.html'

My reading suggests that since libcurlVersion() reports "Schannel" in
both cases it should be picking up the same certificates from the OS.
Please advise, many thanks,
Ralph
