GET(url) gets different results than browser about httr HOT 6 CLOSED

Looks like the problem is that httr appended "=NA" to the end of the URL. Not sure why....

from httr.

I'll have to check the spec, but that doesn't look like a valid URL. Httr should behave better though

from httr.

Thats likely the problem. Looks like everything else was escaped correctly.

From the W3C spec:

The query parameter canonicalization of a string s is the query canonicalization of s, modified as follows:

Replace all instances of the U+0026 AMPERSAND (&) character with %26.

Replace all instances of the U+003D EQUALS SIGN (=) character with %3D.
