Can not connect PostgreSQL(over SSL) with RPostgresql on Windows

Question

I can not connect PostgreSQL(on Heroku) with RPostgreSQL on Windows(64bit).

I can connect local postgresql(not ssl) with RPostgreSQL on Windows. I can connect PostgreSQL on Heroku from PgAdmin on Windows. I can connect PostgreSQL on Heroku with RPostgreSQL on OSX and Linux.

Only RPostgreSQL on Windows can not connect Heroku PostgreSQL.

Error message is:

Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : 
  RD-DBI driver: (could not connect....xxxxx

Is there any solution?

It's related to this issue: Can't create dbConnect to Postgres with SSL. One solution that worked for me (also with a Heroku DB) is to use the RPostgres package instead. You can install the dev. version from Github: https://github.com/rstats-db/RPostgres.
