fread only allows URLs on `input`, not `file` · Issue #4952 · Rdatatable/data.table · GitHub

fread only allows URLs on input, not file #4952

Description

The documentation for fread's argument file states

[...] a URL starting http:// [...]

However, if I try reading a file via HTTP, I can only get it to work by passing it to the generic input, not file.

library(data.table)
packageVersion("data.table")
#> [1] ‘1.14.0’

x <- "http://dados.cvm.gov.br/dados/FI/DOC/INF_DIARIO/DADOS/inf_diario_fi_202012.csv"

fread(x, sep = ";")
