[GNC] ASX Online quotes problem

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble fetching online quotes for Australian stocks in
Gnucash.

My versions are:

Gnucash Version: 4.11
Build ID: Flathub 4.11
Finance::Quote: 1.49

running on Linux.

Every other security price fetch seems to work fine. For instance, this
works for US stocks when input into the security editor:

Symbol: AAPL
Source: alphavantage

as do currency quotes.

However, I get the following error message:

"Unable to retrieve quotes for these items ASX:VGS ..."

where ASX is just my "type" categorisation", if I try any ASX stock/etf
(here using VGS as an example) with any permutation of

Symbol: VGS, VGS.AX, ASX:VGS, ASX.VGS
Source: Alphavantage US, Australian Stock Exchange AU,Yahoo as JSON

For reference, I have got the underlying command line scripts working and I
*can* get Australian quotes using them (in addition to currency and US
stock quotes that *do* work in Gnucash). For instance the following
commands all return sensible quotes


perl gnc-fq-dump -v asx vgs
perl gnc-fq-dump -v yahoo_json VGS.ax
perl gnc-fq-dump -v australia vgs

I'm unclear if this is because of something I am doing wrong with the
details in the security editor or if there is something else I'm missing.

Thanks in advance,

R.
