httr2 - API request error: OpenSSL SSL_read: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading, errno 0

Question

I'm trying to request data from an API but getting an error. Here's the full code:

library(tidyverse)
library(httr2)

req <- request("https://www.ec.europa.eu/agrifood/api/beef/prices?memberStateCodes=PT&years=2019,2020&months=1,3,9&weeks=5,6,7,8,40,41,42&beginDate=01/09/2019&endDate=02/02/2020&carcassCategories=heifers,cows")

resp <- req |> req_perform()

And the full response error: Error in req_perform(): ! Failed to perform HTTP request. Caused by error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(): ! OpenSSL SSL_read: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading, errno 0

Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks!
