[R] cannot open connection: Authorization Required

Hi, All:Is there a way in R to access a file / web site that requirespermission?Consider for example the following:


> readLines('http://www.r-project.org/', 4)
[1] "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">"

[2] "<html>"[3] "<head>"[4] "<title>The R Project for Statistical Computing</title>"> readLines(URL) # URL = web address, which I can see via manual access.Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection

In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") :
 cannot open: HTTP status was '401 Authorization Required'



     Thanks,
     Spencer Graves
