DatastreamDSWS2R Connection via Proxy - JSON error

I am connecting to DatastreamDSWS2R via a http_proxy to get past our company firewall (proxy defined in .Renviron file) and am getting the following error:
Error in rjson::fromJSON(myTokenResponse) : unexpected character '<'
Can somebody help me make sense of this mistake?

@laurent.marmy, this looks like a pure R language related query, and I am not at all familiar with R. That said, just by looking at the R documentation, that syntax does not look right to me.

Hi @Marvin, I finally managed to solved the problem by getting a proxy port from my company and defining this and my Datastream username and password in a .Renviron file like this:
http_proxy= XXX.XXX.com:9999http_proxy_user=UNAME:PASSWORD
DatastreamUsername=DATASTREAMUSERNAME
DatastreamPassword=DATASTREAMPASSWORDoptions(Datastream.Username = "DATASTREAMUSERNAME")
options(Datastream.Password = "DATASTREAMPASSWORD")0
