[GNC] ASX quotes not working

[Geoff]

Here we go again....

The ASX released a major overhaul of their web site a couple of days 
ago, and I suspect this has broken the screen scraping logic in the 
(Perl) Finance Quote ASX.pm module.

Screens and URLs have both been changed.  For example, this (old style) URL:
https://www.asx.com.au/asx/share-price-research/company/XXX
now redirects to:
https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/company/XXX

My version of Finance Quote (1.49) uses this URL:
http://www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/priceLookup.do?by=asxCodes&asxCodes=XXX
which now redirects to:
https://www2.asx.com.au/markets/trade-our-cash-market/directory
and doesn't contain prices.

The Yahoo_JSON data source *appears* to be working with the GnuCash 
gnc-dump utility:

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json NAB.AX
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
     symbol: NAB.AX               <=== required
       date: 10/13/2020           <=== recommended
   currency: AUD                  <=== required
       last: 19.35                <=\
        nav:                      <=== one of these
      price:                      <=/
   timezone:                      <=== optional

C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json NABHA.AX
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
     symbol: NABHA.AX             <=== required
       date: 10/13/2020           <=== recommended
   currency: AUD                  <=== required
       last: 98                   <=\
        nav:                      <=== one of these
      price:                      <=/
   timezone:                      <=== optional

However, after a quick experiment, I couldn't get this to work 100% in 
GnuCash itself.


The Finance Quote home page has no news since 1.49 was released on 
30-Jun-2019:
