is `readHFCweb` function working?

Hi Tim!

I was trying to import data from HFC for some countries and I noticed that this function is currently commented in the readHFD.R code.

I don't know if it is commented due to any specific reason, but I tried to adapt it to make it work for me. I noticed they changed the path to store the data and how to request it. Follow the two changes I made in your commented code, just in case you intend to add this function again to the package:

• Path: from fileurl <- paste0("https://www.fertilitydata.org/data/", CNTRY, "/", CNTRY, "_", item, ".txt") to paste0("https://www.fertilitydata.org/File/GetFile/Country/", CNTRY, "/", CNTRY, "_", item, ".txt")
• Requesting statement: from httr::HEAD(fileurl)$all_headers[[1]]$status == 200 to httr::GET(fileurl)$all_headers[[1]]$status == 200

Thank you for this package!

Best,

Hi! When they updated the website I guess I didn't have time to update this function. I wonder, could you make a PR with a working function, so I can give it a whirl? Thanks!
