Dear all, library("rtracklayer") session <- browserSession("UCSC") fails with Error in .local(.Object, ...) : Failed to obtain 'hguid' cookie under both R 2.15.x and 3.0.1 Can anyone reproduce this? Could UCSC have changed their output? I'm in Copenhagen and noticed the web-page now automatically redirects to the new european mirror. All the best, -- Johannes E. Waage, cand.scient.
