Hi I am trying to download an excel report from my company's website using the download.file function. But I am getting an error InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A certificate is required to complete client authentication'. How do I fix this ?

    please share code or an example of code so others can help. it possibly sounds like a security issue but do not know for certain. – Mike Aug 03 '21 at 19:21
  • Does this help? https://stackoverflow.com/q/65586923/3358272 . This suggests both `method="libcurl"` and (perhaps) `mode="wb"`. – r2evans Aug 03 '21 at 20:04
  • My guess is that this is more related to your internet settings. – Bloxx Aug 03 '21 at 20:19
  • It may be simpler to use your web browser to access the link and download the file. Then move it to the directory where you keep your R work and access it using R functions to convert Excel files. – dcarlson Aug 03 '21 at 20:56
