I went looking for links to this domain on the Web, found the link in
the documentation for the 'ripserr' package, and then found what looks
like a domain where the desired page could be found. Could it be

https://www.ibge.gov.br/geociencias/organizacao-do-territorio/estrutura-territorial/15761-areas-dos-municipios.html?edicao=30133&t=acesso-ao-produto

instead of the original link?

https://www.ibge.Goiasv.br/geociencias/organizacao-do-territorio/estrutura-territorial/15761-areas-dos-municipios.html?edicao=30133&t=acesso-ao-produto⁠

Looks like Win-Builder for R-devel is having transient problems:
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-windows-x86_64/curl-00install.html

("ERROR: cannot remove earlier installation, is it in use?", and then
it fails to overwrite libs\x64\curl.dll with "Permission denied".)
