Re: Error connecting to port 80

[Broad Institute GDAC]

Hi Markus,

Access to gdac.broadinstitute.org is only available via https now - the site was getting taken down on a daily basis via attacks on http (port 80). You'll need to notify the maintainers of the R packages you use of this. The only tools we support for data access are fbget and firehose_get.

Kind regards,

David

To Whom it may Concern,

I'm having trouble connecting to your website to download data on breast cancer methylation. To do so, I'm running an R command through the EpiMix package, which uses the get_Firehosedata function as a dependency. Whenever I try to run the code, I receive the error: "Failed to connect to gdac.broadinstitute.org port 80 after 628 ms: Couldn't connect to server". Do you have any idea what the problem may be?

Thank you,

- Markus
