[GNC] Finance::Quotes stopped working for me

The URL is given several times in the thread, it's http, port 80. That aside, get real: A firewall that blocks a port when perl's LWP is the agent but not when curl or a web browser is?

Besides, the request isn't blocked, it's munged so that Yahoo! returns a 500--server error response. So we have to imagine that the router can somehow tell that the packets are coming from curl and not messing with them or perl LWP and messing with them? That's a pretty amazing firewall.

Regards,
John Ralls
