Online quote retrieval

[Carlo Marinoni]

Dear All,

I have a (strange?) problem with online quote retrieval.  I have some
Italian securities and set the "yahoo_europe" source.  With some
securities (e.g. AEM.MI) everything is perfect, but with other (e.g.
IFCALI.MI) there is no way to get back the value.


Note (A): going to http://it.finance.yahoo.com/ it is possible to
retrieve both AEM.MI and IFCALI.MI
(http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=aem.mi
http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ifcali.mi)

Note (B): using  gnc-fq-dump I get strange results in both cases:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe AEM.MI
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: AEM.MI               <=== required
      date: 00/00/2000           <=== required
  currency: EUR                  <=== required
      last: 2.84                 <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 2.84                 <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional
-----------------------------------------------------------------
what kind of date is that?!? 00/00/2000 ???


-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe IFCALI.MI
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: IFCALI.MI            <=== required
      date: ** missing **        <=== required
  currency: ** missing **        <=== required
      last: 38.31                <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional

** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
in http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ifcali.mi the date is present!

Thank you,

Carlo
