Error with reading csv from URL: Error in functionalert protocol version-CodePudding

I have a problem with getting data from URL

weatherExists = url.exists("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataprofessor/data/master/weather-weka.csv")
weather <- read.csv(text = getURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataprofessor/data/master/weather-weka.csv") )

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

This URL is valid if you copy paste it into your browser the data will show so I do not get why the function is not working properly

CodePudding user response：

Just use url works.

weather <- read.csv(url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataprofessor/data/master/weather-weka.csv"))

head(weather)
   outlook temperature humidity windy play
1    sunny          85       85 FALSE   no
2    sunny          80       90  TRUE   no
3 overcast          83       86 FALSE  yes
4    rainy          70       96 FALSE  yes
5    rainy          68       80 FALSE  yes
6    rainy          65       70  TRUE   no

Use read_csv from readr

readr::read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataprofessor/data/master/weather-weka.csv')
