Hi Mannau.Thank you for this amazing package.I develope an aplication of web scrapping and text analyitics based on this package, with the Google News API, but now I want to put it in production I get the following error:

#Query

elements<-c(elementsLAFT,elementsOtros)

TevLAFT<- WebCorpus(GoogleNewsSource(evaluate))

Hi Mannau. Thank you for your package, I am trying to use your package in my research project, but I get the following error:
googlenews <- WebCorpus(GoogleNewsSource("Microsoft"))

Unknown IO errorfailed to load external entity "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=Microsoft&ie=utf-8&num=100&output=rss"

Error: 1: Unknown IO error2: failed to load external entity "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=Microsoft&ie=utf-8&num=100&output=rss"

The erros comes from this function
parser <- function(cr) {
tree <- parse(cr, type = "XML", asText = FALSE)
nodes <- xpathSApply(tree, path = "//item")
xmlns1 <- lapply(nodes, newXMLNamespace, "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/",
"dc")
nodes
}
The parse function create the error.

Thanks,

How do you then check all the news as being positive or negative?
