I had this problem before and received the following reply on Statalist from Phil Schumm: Stata is not currently able to negotiate an SSL connection. Thus, if you want to drive an automatic download via HTTPS from Stata, you'll need to call out to a shell command (e.g., curl or wget) to execute the actual download, save the result in a temporary file, and then pick up that file from within Stata." You can try Andrew Dyck's workaround using wget: http://www.andrewdyck.com/download-and-unzip-data-files-from-stata/ HTH, DVM * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
