Summary:

I can list accounts and download transactions from Bank of the West:

emulation: quicken 2020
url: https://ofx.bankofthewest.com/process.ofx
fid: 15130
app_id: QWIN
app_version: 2700
ofx version: 103
client uid: copied from what Quicken used (generated by Quicken I think).

Notes:

- I suspect the client uid can be one you generate on first login, but
I haven't tested yet.
I tried generating a new one and using that instead, but the server
returned an error.
I will test out the client uid boundary conditions a bit with a different login.

- I will try to update ofxhome.com since it seems to be under new ownership.

- I will also attempt to update the gnucash wiki entry

- In order to get things working on my decades old gnucash data file,
I had to completely delete my old aqbanking users and accounts,
restart, then create the new online accounts manually, even though
lisiting the accounts worked. Using a brand new test data file was
smooth going.  This is in gnucash 4.4, the version in debian 11.
