To get USDCAD rates from Bank of Canada, we first go url <- "http://banqueducanada.ca/en/rates/exchange-avg.html";
select 12 months for Rates for the past and click "Get Rates" button. Then the page moves to address <- "http://banqueducanada.ca/cgi-bin/famecgi_fdps"; and the rates show in the html page. htmlParse() can read the html document but htmlParse(address) did not work since we need to pass the selected field value and clicking Get Rates button event parameters to http://banqueducanada.ca/en/rates/exchange-avg.html. I was wondering if you know how to load in data from such html pages.
