Internet connection fails - broken dependency?

[AnttiSim]

Hi,

I got an error message by trying to connect to Statistics Finland API (with get_pxweb_data):

Error: No internet connection to http://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/api/v1/fi/StatFin/jul/jtume/010_jtume_tau_101.px

This error appears after the programs issues that "This is a large query...". I attach here files that should help you to reproduce the problem.

I'm thinking that when I did package update this morning, some update caused this trouble. I had some earlier session on without updated packages that runs the script faultlessly. Here is session info of the failed download:

I have my routine working again. It seems that package 'curl' got somehow uninstalled when I updated R to 3.3.3. I installed 'curl' again and now everything works as it should. So this was probably just a false alarm. Apologies for that!

Kind regards,

Antti
