error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version while using getURL()

3.4k Views Asked by At

When I try using getURL() in the following way, I get an error:

library(RCurl)

getURL("https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?retmode=xml&db=pubmed&sort=pub+date&api_key=94fb5e3a815482d7c32927d002fb8f45e308&id=24190502")

The error:

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : 
  error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

Any ideas on how I could resolve this?
