Fix demo connect

[AARON-CLARK]

Branch deployed to shinyapps.io to debugging/ diagnose (#468)

Log file on shinyapps.io indicates cran.r-project.org has a timeout error

@AARON-CLARK & @borgmaan 9195335 appears to have resolved the issue. I'm not entirely sure what is different that makes it work so maybe another pair of eyes would be helpful.

One difference would be httr using the curl package under the hood which (I believe) improves upon some of the base web client functions (like the problematic curlGetHeaders).

Not sure of the technical details behind the different behavior, but this at least provides one potential reason for the swap to httr resolving the issue.

Hey @Jeff-Thompson12, I deployed this branch to our TEST deployment URL (below) and it looks like I'm still getting the same connectivity issue when attempting to load a new pkg. But perhaps you can test - I'm currently having tons of internet connectivity problems with my current workstation set up this week. ☹️

@AARON-CLARK I just tested with your TEST deployment and am not experiencing any issues.

Hi all,

Now that I'm on a stable internet connect, I tested our test deployment and I'm still getting URL connectivity issues! @ScottSchumacker, can you please test this app and manually upload 1 new package: https://rinpharma.shinyapps.io/riskassessment_test/

Let me and @Jeff-Thompson12 know if you get the message below:

[Jeff-Thompson12]

@AARON-CLARK Is this a new deployment? I tried the old link and it didn't work. I am experiencing the same issue you noted with the new link.

[Jeff-Thompson12]

And when I deploy this branch to shinyapps.io I do not get the timeout either. I wonder what the difference is.

Same deployment!

Hmmm.

I am getting the same data connection issue mentioned above
