|   \newcommand{\ghit}{\href{https://github.com/Rblp/Rblpapi/issues/#1}{##1}}
| 
| and that is working just fine from CRAN as per
| 
|   https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rblpapi/news.html
| 
| and all those links resolve.  Yet as of this morning all these links get me 
| 
|  URL: https://github.com/Rblp/Rblpapi/issues/68
|     From: inst/NEWS.Rd
|     Status: 400
|     Message: Bad Request
| 
| whereas the link _of course_ resolves fine in the browser.

Looks like it tricked me -- apparent issue at the GitHub side. These tests
now pass again.

I think I had fallen once before for this, and may well again another time.
