Hello R-gurus,

I am using R command "download.file" to download some PDF format files from
internet,
command might like this:

download.file(url="
http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/cgi/reprint/102/7/2345.pdf
",destfile="dest.pdf")


however,the downloadef PDF file is blank, what's happen? Any suggestions
would be greatly
appreciated!


PS. while I use perl command like below work well and the downloaded PDF
file contain right contents.

lwp-download
http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/cgi/reprint/102/7/2345.pdf
dest.pdf
