cr_cn fails with some valid DOIs

[bobmuscarella]

rcrossref is returning errors with some valid DOIs (a sample below). These are valid, as confirmed on doi.org. Any ideas what is going on or how to fix?

Please note that I am using the most recent dev version of rcrossref and I have added my email to the R.environment as per instruction on the rcrossref Github page.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you for raising this issue @bobmuscarella It seems Crossref API does not encode responses to UTF-8. I will alert Crossref about it. The issue relates to #221

[njahn82]

Asked Crossref team about header encoding: https://gitlab.com/crossref/issues/-/issues/1574

[doomlab]

@njahn82 - any update on this error?

[njahn82]

Hi @doomlab Crossref has not fixed the issue yet, but there has been an update on how crul, rcrossref's underlying http client, deals with header encodings (see here). Good news, if you update to the most recent crul version on CRAN (1.2.0), at least the first three examples work; cr_cn("10.1111/geb.13346") returns an internal server error.
