search_treebase() function error

[DylanCarbone]

Hi,

I've just tried to download a tree from treebase and received the following error:

> Phylogenies_from_Huelsenbeck <- search_treebase("Huelsenbeck", "author")

http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/find?query=dcterms.contributor=Huelsenbeck&format=rss1&recordSchema=tree
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : 
  error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

I've encountered this error when installing treebase through either CRAN or github.

Thanks

Hi, I had same issue in R. The webpage https://treebase.org/treebase-web/ ask me for an user name and password. I don't know how to create my user and password.

I am also having problems accessing TreeBase data. Although the error is slightly different. Here is the R console output:

> studies <- search_treebase("2377", by="id.study")
http://purl.org/phylo/treebase/phylows/study/find?query=tb.identifier.study=2377&format=rss1&recordSchema=tree
Error: XML content does not seem to be XML: ''

This was using R 3.6.3 on MacOS 12.4. I tried both the CRAN installed version of TreeBase and then updated to the latest devtools release and got the same error.
