Extracting data using hmd.mx #49

Closed petermcquire closed 1 year ago

petermcquire commented 1 year ago

When extracting data using hmd.mx I get the following error:

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to www.mortality.org:443

I've used this hundreds of times, but probably not in last few months

The current github version of the package is working. Here is the change that fixed the problem: https://github.com/robjhyndman/demography/commit/a139db76217779f77e34ae1ce3fc8cfb60635b83

You need to use login details for former.mortality.org instead of www.mortality.org.

I have been waiting for mortality.org to announce their new API before updating on CRAN.

The former.mortality.org is not working at the moment.

I'll update to use the new site and push to CRAN in the coming week.
