[R] Please assist me to download this data

[Christofer Bogaso]

Just have tried this :

library(RCurl)
x = postForm("https://www.amfiindia.com/net-asset-value/nav-history",
'NAV Date' = "25-Jul-2016")

However doesnt look like I get valid data, because I still can get
result for some future date as well!!

Any other option I should try?
