Hi, I am getting an error for a biomaRt getBM() call which used to work before. Has something changed in getBM() or the corresponding web services - or might there be firewall problems? I have the environment variable http_proxy set and other commands through the firewall, e.g. package installations work. Also getting the same information from biomart via wget and a xml query works through http_proxy. Here is the output: > library("biomaRt") > mart = useMart("ensembl", dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl") Checking attributes ... ok Checking filters ... ok > o=getBM(c("ensembl_gene_id", "ensembl_transcript_id", "illumina_humanwg_6_v2"), mart=mart) V1 1 <html><head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>FEHLER: Die angeforderte URL konnte nicht gefunden werden</title> <style type="text/css">

Hi Wasco, This works for me, maybe the server was temporarily down, any chance you can try again?

Hi Steffen , hi Johannes, I consistently get the same error. Something must have changed because before some days it worked fine. Maybe I have to update.

Hi Wasco well, it works for me as well (using R 2.13.1 and biomaRt_2.8.1), see below. I suggest to upgrade, most likely your R 2.11.0 and biomaRt_2.4.0 doesn't work with the Biomart database from ensembl 63 (which was released a few weeks ago)....on the other hand the error message you provide: "Die angeforderte URL konnte nicht gefunden werden" does sound like a firewall problem on your side......

Hi Hans-Rudolf, Steffen, Johannes, thank you for your answers and testing! I upgraded to the newest versions but still got the same error. Using only one attribute to useMart() I got a html error page which our network admin could interpret - it was a not-easy-to-detect firewall problem concerning HTTP1.1 expect!

Hi Wasco, I have tried your example just now and it worked fine. But I'm running more current versions of R and Bioconductor.
