Duncan,
I tested the new RCurl with the proxy option, and it works great (I
tested a curlPerform example, which does not work otherwise).
Problem with RGoogleDocs though:
> auth = getGoogleAuth("remkoduur...@gmail.com", GPASS)
Error in strsplit(type, "/")[[1]] : subscript out of bounds
If I get the Google Docs authorization by turning the proxy off;
options( RCurlOptions = list(verbose = TRUE,
proxy = ""))
And then turn it back on, I can connect just fine.
thanks,
Remko
