[Bioc-devel] Possible DNS issue?

[Pages, Herve]

Hi Damian,

stringdb-static.org resolves to 185.111.60.15 on malbec1 like on 
nebbiolo1 and merida1.

Also the following code runs with no problem in an interactive session 
on malbec1:

 > tmp <- tempfile()
 > 
download.file("https://stringdb-static.org/download/protein.links.v11.0/9606.protein.links.v11.0.txt.gz", 
tmp)
trying URL 
'https://stringdb-static.org/download/protein.links.v11.0/9606.protein.links.v11.0.txt.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 71241372 bytes (67.9 MB)
==================================================
downloaded 67.9 MB

I'm not sure why this fails in the context of the nightly builds. Let's 
hope it's just an intermittent connectivity issue between malbec1 and 
stringdb-static.org. We'll keep an eye on this.

Best,
H.
