Occasionally when dataone::getObject() or getSystemetadata() are called, the following error is received:
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL (0x80090321) - The buffers supplied to a function was too small.
Called from: curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle)
This may be an SSL issue. This has been seen it elsewhere, and attemps to fix it on the server side configuration have been made. For some background: when the R client tries to make a secure connection to the sever, there is a TLS handshake involved where the two systems negotiate the connection. On the server, we have a setting that asks the client to optionally provide an X509 certificate in the request (for cert-based auth rather than token-based auth). When this happens, there is this strange security rule about having to buffer the entire request while this negotiation happens. Request buffers tend to default to about 128K, so even a 1MB request could be problematic.

If you get the error, try the
set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L))fix they mention. Let us know what happens.Also, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31741762/r-error-installing-package-error-in-curlcurl-fetch-memoryurl-handle-ha#41696229
