[R-pkg-devel] URL timeout in win-builder check: suggestions?

[Ben Bolker]

   I have a URL in my documentation that got a timeout error from 
win-builder, possibly because of some kind of service provider filtering 
of bots (I think there was a previous issue with Cloudflare links?)

   I can get to it fine interactively/in a browser.

   This link is a harmless bit of fluff (click through if you want to 
see), but I don't want it causing hiccups in my CRAN submission (i.e., I 
could take it out if necessary but would prefer not to ...)

     Suggestions?
