Dear all, When checking a package via a GitHub action I often (but not always) get a connection-time out for the GNU license page. The github actions runs the code below
Sys.setenv("R_DEFAULT_INTERNET_TIMEOUT" = 360) options(timeout = max(360, getOption("timeout"))) rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck( path = x$get_path, args = c("--timings", "--as-cran", "--no-manual"), error_on = "never", timeout = Inf ) The resulting NOTE Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs: URL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html From: README.md Status: Error Message: libcurl error code 28: Failed to connect to www.gnu.org port 443 after 136189 ms: Couldn't connect to server I'm guessing that https://www.gnu.org is blocking the request from the GitHub Action. Any suggestions how to fix this note without removing the URL for the README? Best regards, Thierry ir.
