[GNC] Cannot get online quotes

[Emilio Dorigatti]

Hi all,

I am trying to setup online quotes as per the guide [1]. I am at the 
latest version

# gnc-fq-update
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
   Database was generated on Fri, 25 Sep 2020 01:29:03 GMT
Date::Manip is up to date (6.82).
Finance::Quote is up to date (1.49).

And no errors are returned from check:

$ gnc-fq-check
("1.49" "adig" "aex" "aiahk" "alphavantage" "amfiindia" "asegr" "asx" "aufunds" "australia" "bamosz" "bet" "bmonesbittburns" "bourso" "bse" "bsero" "canada" "canadamutual" "citywire" "cominvest" "cse" "deka" "dutch" "dwsfunds" "europe" "fetch_live_currencies" "fidelity" "fidelity_direct" "fidelityfixed" "financecanada" "finanzpartner" "finland" "fool" "france" "ftfunds" "ftportfolios" "ftportfolios_direct" "fundlibrary" "goldmoney" "greece" "hex" "hu" "hufund" "hungary" "hustock" "iexcloud" "indiamutual" "known_currencies" "lerevenu" "maninv" "morningstar" "morningstarau" "morningstarch" "morningstarjp" "mstaruk" "nasdaq" "nyse" "nz" "nzx" "platinum" "romania" "seb_funds" "sixfunds" "sixshares" "stockhousecanada_fund" "tdefunds" "tdwaterhouse" "tiaacref" "tnetuk" "troweprice" "troweprice_direct" "trustnet" "tsp" "tsx" "uk_unit_trusts" "ukfunds" "unionfunds" "usa" "usfedbonds" "vanguard" "vwd" "yahoo_json" "yahoo_yql" "za" "za_unittrusts")

However, dumping fails with all sources:

$ gnc-fq-dump -v europe AMZN

Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when decoding entities at /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/HTML/TreeBuilder.pm line 108.

Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:

     symbol: AMZN (deduced)       <=== required

       date: ** missing **        <=== recommended

   currency: ** missing **        <=== required

       last: **missing**          <=\

        nav: **missing**          <=== one of these

      price: **missing**          <=/

   timezone:                      <=== optional

** This stock quote cannot be used by GnuCash!

All fields returned by Finance::Quote for stock AMZN

stock           field  value

-----           -----  -----

AMZN         errormsg: HTTP session failed

AMZN             last: **missing**

AMZN              nav: **missing**

AMZN            price: **missing**

AMZN          success: 0

And obviously fails within GnuCash, too. I don't know how I am supposed 
to specify the currency? Or perhaps there are connection issues to the 
servers?

Thank you for working on GnuCash, it's an amazing piece of software!
Emilio.
