That used to work up until two days ago. Now the currency is again
no more updated. :-(
I tried to "Get quotes" from the Price Editor, and I also receive an
error about "Can't get Currency:USD ...".
Then I tried this from console:
Linux1:/usr/bin # gnc-fq-dump yahoo USDEUR=X
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: USDEUR=X <=== required
date: 05/13/2009 <=== required
currency: EUR <=== required
last: 0.7352 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 0.7352 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
Linux1:/usr/bin # gnc-fq-dump yahoo EURUSD=X
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: EURUSD=X <=== required
date: 05/13/2009 <=== required
currency: EUR <=== required
last: 1.3599 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 1.3599 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
Note that with BOTH commands, the returned value
for "currency" is "EUR" (??)
As it sounds, it's not a problem from GnuCash, but more
likely Finance::Quote and Yahoo.
Is it something broken on the Yahoo side that hopefully will
soon be fixed by Yahoo ?
Or worst, is Yahoo now trying to send HTTP responses based on the
request's IP ? (Can someone from USA try both commands ?)
