getFX not working on Linux & Mac OS (works on Win10)

[traxx84]

Seems as getFX isnt working since today on Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OS (10.11.3), it does work on Windows 10.
quantmod_0.4-5

getFX("EUR/USD")
Error in download.file(oanda.URL, destfile = tmp, quiet = !verbose) :
cannot open URL 'http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/download?quote_currency=EUR&end_date=2016-03-24&start_date=2014-11-11&period=daily&display=absolute&rate=0&data_range=y2&price=mid&view=table&base_currency_0=USD&base_currency_1=&base_currency_2=&base_currency_3=&base_currency_4=&download=csv'

I can replicate the behavior: error on my Ubuntu machine, no issue on my Windows machine.

Looks like a problem with libcurl, which is not related to quantmod, so I am closing. You can work-around the issue by setting the download.file.method option to something other than "libcurl".

This was an issue with Oanda changing the url from http to https. Fixed in 3f56737.
