The issue is that is kind of strange is that I am not able to setup download any information, or even request an account balance. Where I am struggling to find the solution is that the same settings that I use in the much simpler ofx.py work.

I do have a standing question, now it seems that downloading information does not seem to work there is a long Waiting for response -> spinning beach ball for awhile -> Network error while waiting for response -> Error parsing server response -> unlocks the user -> postprocessing of jobs -> Resets then done.

Please remember to copy the list on replies, there are other people there who may be better able to help.

Well, there are two possible reasons that ofx.py works and is simpler: It's hiding details from you or it's sending less detail. In the first case, you'll have to figure out what details it's hiding and make sure that aqbanking's details match up; in the second, you'll have to figure out what aqbanking is sending that ofx.py isn't and turn that off in aqbanking. I'm afraid I can't offer any more help beyond that.
