Hi, I was trying to get started with rtracklayer. I tried to start a browser session but get an error ("Failed to obtain 'hguid' cookie"). The code and sessionInfo is: =============================== > library(rtracklayer) > library(IRanges) > session <- browserSession() Error in .local(.Object, ...) : Failed to obtain 'hguid' cookie > session <- browserSession("UCSC") Error in .local(.Object, ...) : Failed to obtain 'hguid' cookie > sessionInfo() R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0 locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] vsn_3.16.0 microRNA_1.6.1 limma_3.4.4 genefilter_1.30.0 [5] humanStemCell_0.2.3 hgu133plus2.db_2.4.1 org.Hs.eg.db_2.4.1 RSQLite_0.9-1 [9] DBI_0.2-5 AnnotationDbi_1.10.1 Biobase_2.8.0 nlme_3.1-96 [13] IRanges_1.6.17 rtracklayer_1.8.1 RCurl_1.4-2 bitops_1.0-4.1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] affy_1.26.1 affyio_1.16.0 annotate_1.26.1 Biostrings_2.16.9 [5] BSgenome_1.16.5 GenomicRanges_1.0.9 grid_2.11.1 lattice_0.18-8 [9] preprocessCore_1.10.0 splines_2.11.1 survival_2.35-8 tools_2.11.1 [13] XML_3.1-0 xtable_1.5-6 ==================================== Do I need to set some other parameters before I can use this? thanks!

My only guess is that this is some sort of network/proxy issue.
