I had a similar issue with a paper on JSTOR. Usually CRAN let it through.
However, I eventually switched from URL to DOI and now the user needs to find
the free source so to rid myself of the constant hassle. CRAN really doesn’t
like redirects. I guess you could wrap it in \code{} so as not to hyperlink.

I have a package whose documentation includes the reference
\doi{10.1137/18M1186411} which redirects here:
https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/18M1186411
Running R CMD check --as-cran on the package gives
Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
URL: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/10.1137/18M1186411

CRAN will snpect this manually and let is pass.
Best,

I can access this perfectly well in the browser.
Is there any way to avoid this (other than, say, including the URL in a form that does
*not* provide a link so that R CMD check won't try to access it? (As Uwe Ligges says
[here](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2020q1/005195.html) (for a more
obviously problematic case), "mention the URL in plain text but not link"
Here Hadley Wickham says that these NOTEs can be ignored
https://twitter.com/hadleywickham/status/1358170607314235392
but "Hadley said it on twitter" is not an ideal source. The CRAN repository policy says
that packages must pass checks without "significant" notes, but it's always hard to know
what's significant and what's not ...
There's a thread here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2020q1/005171.html
Tangentially: is there a more convenient way to search the r-package-devel archives
than googling (e.g.) "site:https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel 403"
?
