Can't download TD Ameritrade transactions

[Mike Churchill]

I had a similar problem with T Rowe Price.  I was not able to document it as well as you have, but also did not resolve it.  I don'T think it is an isolated problem, but I did not have the ability to solve it.  I also got as far as the 400 error.  Mike

Subject: Can't download TD Ameritrade transactions 

   When trying to get the transactions for my TD Ameritrade account, the
   OFX window complains about a Bad Request and an (unknown) error parsing
   the server response.
   Is there a way to see what is being sent to the TD Ameritrade server
   and what the response is from the server? I've shown complete details
   of what I'm doing below, but the info needed to debug this problem
   doesn't appear in the log windows or the ofx log. Is there a way to
   enable more detailed logging to debug this?
   I've tried the FID 5024 that AqBanking provides for TD Ameritrade, and
   the FID 7768 (that Quicken uses successfully). Neither works.
   Process:
     * Select Menu item Tools/Online Banking Setup
     * AqBanking Initial Assistant window opens. Click on Forward.
     * Click on Start AqBanking Wizard.
     * In the AqBanking Setup Users tab, select the user, then click on
       Edit User.
     * OFX DirectConnect User Setup window opens.

     * Fill out User Name, User Id=TD Ameritrade UserId. Client
       UID=account # without any dashes.

     Select the Bank Settings tab.
     * Bank Name=TD Ameritrade
     * Broker Id= (empty)
     * FID=7768
     * ORG=ameritrade.com
     * Server URL=[1]https://ofxs.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/OFX

     Click on Retrieve Account List. I get:
     * 21:22:29 Sending request...
       21:22:29 Using old SSL preparation code.
       21:22:29 TLS: SSL-Ciphers negotiated: TLS1.2:RSA-AES-256-GCM:AEAD

       "INFO")
       The server successfully processed the request.
       21:22:30 Status for account info request: Success (Code 0, severity
       "INFO")
       The server successfully processed the request.
       21:22:30 Operation finished, you can now close this window.

     Close the AqBanking Setup window.

     In the AqBanking Initial Assistant window (whose banner says Start
   Online Banking Wizard), click on Forward.

     Match Online accounts with GnuCash accounts.

     Click on Forward.

     "Online Banking Setup Finished" is displayed. Click on Apply.
   Eventually (Mine takes 1.5 minutes!) GnuCash becomes usable again.

     Open a tab for the account associated with the online account just
   set up.

     Select Menu item Actions/Online Actions/Get Transactions.

     The Get Transactions Online window opens.

     I select "Earliest possible date" (because I've never been able to
   download anything) to Now.

     The Online Banking Connection Window then shows the progress, while a
   new window hidden by this window asks for the password. After entering
   the same password as before, the Log Messages show:

   Thanks for any help you can give.
