Discover drops support for OFX

    Jim,
It appears that you are referring to OFXDirect Connect direct downloads rather than OFXformat Down loads through the Discover web page.
That is a different animal using code that GnuCash does not support directly as they are licensed to include it in their distributions.
I am on my tablet which does not run GnuCash so I cannot elaborate right now

Update: the log of GnuCash's OFX transaction did not shed light on the issue.  I was unable to download transactions even with a hand-crafted HTTP request that matched what the forum posts said worked for them. However, I was hand-crafting HTTP, not HTTPS, and it's conceivable that Discover returns an HTTP 403 status (Not Authorized) for any request that isn't HTTPS.I think it's time to treat this at the developer level, not the user level. I opened a bug report to track the problem: . Please follow if you are interested.Best regards,        --Jim DeLaHuntOn 2017-04-18 23:53, Jim DeLaHunt wrote:>> Mark:>> On Thu, 9 Mar 2017 14:20:34 -0800, Mark Robinson  > wrote:>> So I got this email from Discover today.>> "Thank you for your inquiry regarding issue you are experiencing when>> downloading.
