bad news with 2.2.1

[dpkesling]

The new 2.2.1 version came through as an update a few minutes ago. In the clip below, the "gettxt" is always returning an empty string (""). Things were working fine in 2.1.1
It totally broke my program. Here's a snippit:

some URLs which reliably return information

https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/news/

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/

https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/

function to process incoming sources

process_url <- function(this_url){

raw_page <- gettxt(this_url) # grab the web page contents
print(raw_page)
}

the following routine LOOPs through a long file of sources URLs

a little sample of typical URLs is listed on lines 1:3

victor <- try(process_url(cur_url)) # call the processing subroutine

if(class(victor)=="try-error"){
print("this source is no good")
bad_urls <- c(bad_urls,source.name)
next
}

Thank you very much for raising an issue again. I urgently fixed bugs and uploaded a new version (2.2.2) to CRAN. It would take several days for the new version to be made available.
