HMDHFDplus not working with new mortality.org version #18

Closed artod83 closed 1 year ago

artod83 commented 2 years ago

Hello, HMDHDFplus (just updated today to 1.9.18) is not working with the new version of the mortality.org website. In particular, the line:

path <- paste("https://www.mortality.org/hmd/", country, "/STATS/", "Mx_1x1.txt", sep = "") (here I have the rates, because its called from hmd.mx, but readHMDweb doesn't work either)

should be:

path <- paste("/File/GetDocument/hmd.v6/", country, "/STATS/", "Mx_1x1.txt", sep = "")

Additionally, Curl fails with a 443 SSL error:

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

Hi @artod83 , I suspect this is a similar issue to that reported in issue 17, which was resolved with a simple Rstudio restart. Please check that version 1.9.18 is the one loaded and is producing this problem.

In short, we do not refer to the new HMD website, but to a copy of the old one with a slightly different url, which still uses your old HMD credentials. Data there will be updated in parallel to the new website, and HMDHFDplus will use this old copy for data extraction until HMD releases its API.

Please double check that the error is persistent after clear caches, etc.

Thanks, Tim

Thanks, it works now. It’s the demography package that it’s not working, so I’ll switch entirely to HMDHFDplus. Thanks! Best regards,

Matteo Dimai
