downloadExchange() seems broken

[yreecht]

Now getting very small (few tens of kb, as compared to the usual ~1-2Mb), invalid zip files. Tested with the following code, under R-4.1 to 4.3

downloadExchange("NS-IBTS", 1991:1992)
downloadExchange("IE-IGFS", 2003:2022)  ## log.txt attached

log.txt

As I believe it used to work with the former R versions (4.1-2), and I can still get the files manually from http://datras.ices.dk/Data_products/Download/Download_Data_public.aspx, I guess the issue might be due to a subtle change in the structure of the webpage (hence not handled correctly by the script datras.php).

Best wishes,
Yves

I cannot reproduce the problems, it works as expected for me. Does the problem persist (maybe the webpage was temporarily broken) ? If it does, there is an alternative (but slower) function called 'getDatrasExchange' Best regards, Casper Den ons. 15. nov. 2023 kl. 13.25 skrev Yves Reecht ***@***.***

Hi Casper,

Yes, it persists. Strangely, it manages to get the list of valid surveys if I run it without argument, and it picks up that "NS-IBTS", for instance, starts in 1965 if year range is omitted. But the generated files desperately remain empty shells.

Could it have to do with the PHP version (8.1.2, on Ubuntu 22.04)?
Will also try it from outside my organisation, to see if it could be due to firewall settings.

Best wishes,
Yves
