Hello Community! New to R and need assistance on Error

General
1

I just purchased this book called R for Marketing Research and Analytics.

One of the first scripts it asks me to run is:

satData <- read.csv("http://goo.gl/UDv12g")
satData$Segment <- factor(satData$Segment)
head(satData)

I am receiving the follow error after running the first line:

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A redirect request will change a non-secure to a secure connection'

Could someone please explain to this dummy this error in terms I, a novice, could understand.

This code does work for me, so check your connection. Also, try changing this line:

satData <- read.csv("http://goo.gl/UDv12g")

to

satData <- read.csv("https://goo.gl/UDv12g")
3

satData <- read.csv("https://goo.gl/UDv12g")
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A redirect request will change a secure to a non-secure connection'
satData <- read.csv("http://goo.gl/UDv12g")
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
InternetOpenUrl failed: 'A redirect request will change a non-secure to a secure connection'

---Still did not work for me. What could be wrong with my connection?
