Deprecated Functions

Description

These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of R only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.

Usage

.Deprecated(new)

read.table.url(url, method,...)
scan.url(url, file = tempfile(), method, ...)
source.url(url, file = tempfile(), method, ...)
httpclient(url, port=80, error.is.fatal=TRUE, check.MIME.type=TRUE,
           file=tempfile(), drop.ctrl.z=TRUE)
parse.dcf(text = NULL, file = "", fields = NULL, versionfix = FALSE)

Details

.Deprecated("<new name>") is called from deprecated functions.

*.url are replaced by calling read.table, scan or source on a url connection.

httpclient is used by the deprecated "socket" method of download.file.

parse.dcf has been replaced by read.dcf, which is much faster, but has a slightly different interface.
