[GNC] GNC] Finance-Quote 1.60 released!

[Kalpesh Patel]

I was able to reproduce the issue in Frankfurt so it definitely is "geo" based issue; specifically EU countries. Attached is a drop in replacement YahooJSON.pm module that works with EU and other regions if anyone wants to use it before new package is released that incorporates these changes.

Klaus,

Thank you for posting that. It helps confirm this is a geo related issue.

Thank you to David Crowe for pointing out https://developer.yahooinc.com/datax/guide/gdpr/cookiemapping/ on https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/373. I suspect GDPR compliance is related to the YahooJSON issue.

Additional testing did indicate that the module does work from an Albanian IP address. I guess while this is being researched, users with EU IP addresses can not use the 'yahoo_json' quote method.

I believe Kalpesh is going to stand up an AWS EC2 instance in an EU region for further investigation. Very much appreciated.
