check_access_to_data broken? #266

Closed minemR closed 1 year ago

minemR commented 1 year ago

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/GISCO/distribution/v2/nuts/geojson/NUTS_RG_60M_2006_4326_LEVL_0.geojson is no longer available?

Thank you for reporting! The most likely explanation would seem to be that the GISCO site is temporarily unavailable. We will monitor this.

Looks like they are back online

@majazaloznik thanks for reporting! We will try to improve our error messages to be more indicative when the problem is a server issue or when it is due to something else.

In this case just the link tested in check_access_to_data wasn't working, everything that I tested was working. So maybe this link also should be updated/changed to something more relevant?

Ah, thanks for explanation @minemR . It's now working so I'm not sure what the issue was there.

There seems to be a redirect from the URL in the function

http_url <- "https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/GISCO/distribution/v2/nuts/geojson/NUTS_RG_60M_2006_4326_LEVL_0.geojson"

to

https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/geojson/NUTS_RG_60M_2006_4326_LEVL_0.geojson

so maybe that partly contributed to the function not working while everything else did.
