rvest Error in open.connection(x, “rb”) : Timeout was reached

by

I encountered the same Error in open.connection(x, “rb”) : Timeout was reached issue when working behind a proxy in the office network.

Here’s what worked for me,

library(rvest)
url = "http://google.com"
download.file(url, destfile = "scrapedpage.html", quiet=TRUE)
content <- read_html("scrapedpage.html")
