When I use below command 

url = 'www.somesite.com'
GET(url)

I get below error - I am not sure what it relates to. 

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : 
  easy handled already used in multi handle

  • You should try to provide a [reproducible example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). Your code does not produce the error you describe. – Thomas Feb 16 '14 at 21:41
  • I restarted R session and I guess it fixed the problem .. – Savi Feb 17 '14 at 00:20

If you use RCurl directly this works without error:

> RCurl::httpGET('www.somesite.com')

Try this. You need to specify the protocol.

url = 'http://www.somesite.com'; GET(url)
