[GNC] AQbanking ofx.log

[Shyam Acharya]

John/Frank - 

Thanks for your comments. The URL is correct and I see them in OFX-Direct Connect database. But I don’t see any successful attempts. BTW the institution is Merrill Lynch. 

I managed to get the list of accounts based on my username and PWD. But when I try to download transactions I get the error. So I think they are locking me out or as you suggested OR do not support OFX. Will try calling them. I did log into my account to see if there was a request to authenticate. There was nothing.

But again, thanks for taking the time!!

    Shyam,

    The http 400 status *is* the bank's response and it means that either that you're not connecting to an OFX-Direct Connect server or that the server thinks that the HTTP request is malformed.

    Have you confirmed at http://ofxhome.com that your bank supports OFX-Direct Connect and has recently tested satisfactory? Are you sure there are no typos in the URI?

    Regards,
    John Ralls

But don’t see the bank's response. Perhaps my expectation that the response is captured is incorrect. Should I be able to see the response?
