Hi all,
I was trying to retrieve some information from the GWAS catalog using
the postForm() function. I get an error (below the script). I can't
seem to figure out where I went wrong in my script. Please help.

Hi Ovokeraye
Your script is okay. It works for me.
Somehow the communication between the server and RCurl
fell apart at some point.
You should try it again now and see if it works now.
Otherwise, are you behind some sort of firewall? proxy? etc.?
While your query works, it gives no results in the table.
I simplified the query to just one disease.
data = postForm("http://www.genome.gov/GWAStudies/#searchForm",
disease = c("Fasting glucose-related traits"),
submit = "Search")
tbl = readHTMLTable(htmlParse(data, asText = TRUE), which = 5, header
= TRUE)
and tbl contains the result.
D.

Hi Duncan,
I didn't want to send any other emails on this question (to belabor
the point, that is), but I'm just slightly frustrated about the url
(and its backward and forward slashes) situation...because I'm
guessing that's what the problem currently is. The connection error
has been sorted (I think) like I previously alluded to. But, I run the
exact script that appears to work for you, and what I get is pasted
below.
Thanks again.

Sorted. My bad. I had re-installed R and hadn't taken the proxy
setting into account. Sorry for the hassle.
Thanks again.
