read.xls (gdata) - from an https url
问题 I'm trying to read in an excel file from a URL: https://www.misoenergy.org/Library/Repository/Market%20Reports/20140507_sr_la.xls I can download the file, and read it in using read.xls from the gdata package no problem. But I get an error when trying to read it in directly. Unable to open file 'https://www.misoenergy.org/Library/Repository/Market%20Reports/20140507_sr_la.xls'. Error in xls2sep(xls, sheet, verbose = verbose, ..., method = method, : Intermediate file '/tmp/RtmptxiYS1
