Hi R,
I am trying to download the data from R. I give the below command. > library(fImport) > yahooSeries("IBM") trying URL 'http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=7&b=08&c=2007&d=7&e=07&f=2008& g=d&x=.csv' Error in download.file(url = url, destfile = file, method = method) : cannot open URL 'http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=7&b=08&c=2007&d=7&e=07&f=2008& g=d&x=.csv' In addition: Warning message: In download.file(url = url, destfile = file, method = method) : unable to connect to 'chart.yahoo.com' on port 80. Error: cannot get a slot ("data") from an object of type "character" In addition: Warning message: trying to get slot "data" from an object of a basic class ("character") with no slots The problem is related with connection of R with the internet. But my port 80 is opened. Then also the error persists. And also, the link is accessible in my PC via the direct internet. How do I make this work?
