EDIT:
this can be solved by passing a user agent to the check.
when running
$ curl -I https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us | grep http.2 -i

HTTP/2 403
is that supposed to happen? if not, can it be fixed?
(happens on other sites aswell)
Can you give a short reprex for what you're running here?
The HTTP 403 Forbidden
response status code indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it. 403 Forbidden - HTTP | MDN
I think I've received this error a number of ways, querying a domain too many times while scraping, pinging an API without the right credentials.
I tried to scrape the status of a support response.
it came back with 403 but also returned a huge payload back.
the URL I was trying to check for validity is https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011846747-Using-Themes-in-the-RStudio-IDE#dark-theme .
This issue is not a rmarkdown issue but an issue with support.rstudio.com as a whole.
PS, I was able to recieve the data from the site without logging in so it's not a credential thing
system
