I am trying to parse the the xml document on the following url:

"http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/ws/sites.php?format=xml"

Using the following code:

library(XML)
ifc=xmlParse("http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/ws/sites.php?format=xml")

But I am getting the following error:

No such file or directoryfailed to load external entity
"http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/ws/sites.php?format=xml"
Error: 1: No such file or directory2: failed to load external entity "http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/ws/sites.php?format=xml"

  • Yes. It is not working for me. I am using proxy for my internet connection. Can this be the reason for not working? But I can download and install packages. – rockswap Nov 30 '12 at 15:00
