lakes file path directory not correct #61
Description
I am trying to open the 110 m geometry of lakes for the whole world and am getting an HTTP Error 404 Not Found message due to what I think is an incorrect file path.
When I run this command:
library(dplyr)
library(rnaturalearth)
lakes <- rnaturalearth::ne_download(scale = 110,
type = 'lakes',
category = 'physical') %>%
sf::st_as_sf(lakes110, crs = 4269)
I get this error
trying URL 'http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip'
Error in utils::download.file(file.path(address), zip_file <- tempfile()) :
cannot open URL 'http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
In utils::download.file(file.path(address), zip_file <- tempfile()) :
cannot open URL 'https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http/www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
When I go to the naturalearthdata.com website and search lakes I can see the download link for the 110 m lakes, which has the following filepath:
https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip
Which is a slightly different file path from what the command above is trying
Incorrect file paths that the command above is trying
1. http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip
2. https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http/www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip
The first incorrect file path is missing an s in the first http
The second incorrect file path is missing a / in the second http/
