[R] How to download this data

[Jeff Newmiller]

I agree that this is a tricky task... even more so than using a"scraping" package because the page is built dynamically. This will take someone with skills in multiple web technologies to decipher the web page scripts to figure out how to manipulate the server to give you the data, because it isn't actually in the web page.
