Dear All, To load a previously saved workspace, one can do the following:
load("/path/to/the/saved/workspace/file") However, if the path to the saved workspace file is a web address, one gets the following error: «Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open compressed file 'http://phhs80.googlepages.com/workspace20090922', probable reason 'No such file or directory'» To circumvent this problem, one can download the saved workspace file to a local folder with download.file() and the option mode="wb" active. My question is: Should not load() have the same mode option so that everything could be done only with load() (and not with two instructions: downaload.file() and load())?
