Dear Group,
My code stopped working ... used to work till last week!
sURL <-
"http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/NOV/cm01NOV2010bha
v.csv.zip"
> download.file(sURL,"test.zip")
trying URL
'http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/NOV/cm01NOV2010bha
v.csv.zip'
Error in download.file(sURL, "test.zip") :
cannot open URL
'http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/NOV/cm01NOV2010bha
v.csv.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(sURL, "test.zip") :
cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'
I put the same URL in a browser and it works just fine.
Any idea why?
Thanks,
S
