knitcitations citet gives "Empty reply from server"

Question

I am trying to compile an RMarkdown file that includes the knitcitations package. I have searched SO for "knitcitations" and did not find any similar problems to my problem.

My problem is that knitcitations citet gives an error "Empty reply from server".

My smallest reproducible example is

> knitcitations::citet("https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-012088781-1/50004-2")
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Empty reply from server

I have tried running this in plain R and RStudio and get the same error.

Try this solution:

---
title: "Untitled"
output:
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine: xelatex
header-includes:    
- \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
---

```{r, warning=FALSE, include=FALSE}
library(knitcitations)
library(bibtex)
````

```{r results="asis", echo = FALSE}
citet("10.1016/B978-012088781-1/50004-2")
````

Good luck in your scientific work ;)
