problem accessing remote index

[dankelley]

@j-harbin do you know what's going on here? First, the .fr server isn't working. I guess that just happens, sometimes. But, second, it seems like it only tried a single server, even though (a) I thought we had it set up to try two servers and (b) the error message says "Could not download ... from any of these servers".

> library(argoFloats)
> indexAll <- getIndex(age=0)
Downloading 'https://data-argo.ifremer.fr/ar_index_global_prof.txt.gz'
Error in curl::curl_download(url = url[iurl], destfile = destfileTemp,  :
  Timeout was reached: [] Connection timeout after 10000 ms
Can't download index from https://data-argo.ifremer.fr
Error in getIndex(age = 0) :

I'll be looking into this before noon.

@dankelley, I don't receive this error (see reprex below). Additionally, I can't quite remember if getIndex automatically tries both servers. I believe by default it tries USGODAE and then if specified by server="infremer" it will try the French server.

library(argoFloats)
indexAll <- getIndex(age=0)
#> Downloading 'https://data-argo.ifremer.fr/ar_index_global_prof.txt.gz'
indexAll
#> argoFloats object of type "index" with 2668361 items

Hm. Well, I changed "develop" to try two servers. (It used to do that but we got a new behaviour via a function that sets up defaults.). Anyway, the .fr one works for me now. Maybe it was eating brunch.

make default server have 2 entries; fix two URLs

See
https://github.com/ArgoCanada/argoFloats/issues/579
for the server problem, and
https://github.com/ArgoCanada/argoFloats/issues/580
for the URL problem.

Weirdly, it now fails for me (again). Maybe it's because I am running R through vim here ... maybe RStudio has some special hand-shaking. Anyway, I guess I don't care too much because the newly-updated argoFloats goes to the second server, and that works.
