usethis::use_zip throwing error that download is MIME type 'application/binary'

[ericpgreen]

I am trying to use usethis::use_zip to download and unpack a ZIP file into a local folder of files.

usethis::use_zip(
    url = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltxw05j8wk81i8o/test.zip?dl=1"
)

I get the error:

Error: Download does not have MIME type 'application/zip'. Instead it's 'application/binary'.

R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
usethis_2.0.1

You can try replacing ?dl=1 with ?raw=1 to obtain a 'direct' link to the zip file.

Or you can just download.file the URL and unzip it using unzip. Obviously this does not come with the benefits of use_zip.

@ericpgreen

usethis::use_zip(
    url = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltxw05j8wk81i8o/test.zip?dl=1"
)

Thanks @hughparsonage. Replacing with ?raw=1 gives me:

Error: Content-Disposition header doesn't start with 'attachment'. Actual header: 'inline; filename="test.zip"; filename*=UTF-8''test.zip'
