Hi, Allthough I have never had any feedback on my R-client to BaseX, I have steadily been working on a new version (even while being retired, I still like to program :-). At present all tests are passed, except one test on adding content to a database. On my Linux-machine 'url exists("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BaseXdb/basex/master/basex-api/src/test/resources/first.xml")' returns TRUE and 'first.xml' is added to a database. When executed on a Windows machine, the same test returns FALSE. I have tested other URL's - starting with https or http - and they are all accepted. Any clue why "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BaseXdb/basex/master/basex-api/src/test/resources/first.xml" is blocked? Ben

Maybe related to the HTTP header field x-content-type-options: nosniff https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/compatibility/gg622941(v=vs.85)?redirectedfrom=MSDN What is the tool/library you are using on Windows? Is it an R HTTP client that is interfacing some Windows DLL? Maybe they put this rejection in the DLL. Maybe you can find another proxying server for raw Github files? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40728554/resource-blocked-due-to-mime-type-mismatch-x-content-type-options-nosniff Gerrit

On both machines I use the most recent versions of R and RStudio. I'll also drop a question in the R-community and (tomorrow) I'll look at the URL's you suggested. Ben

They are both rejected. I also tried with "https://www.cnn.com" and "https://nos.nl". The first is accepted, the second is rejected. In firefox all URL's are accepted. Ben
