[GNC] Yahoo json unauthorized

[Kalpesh Patel]

Is your F::Q up to date? Last version released is 1.59. Version can be displayed by navigating to 'Help' --> 'About' window. It should say "Finance::Quote x.xx" somewhere in the middle of the window. What ever number is x.xx is the version of the installed F::Q.

It also could be that it is a transient error due to Yahoo taking a maintenance window if it is the version that is latest and greatest. If not then time to update it, to keep up with Yahoo constantly moving the goal post.

(Correction. It seems to work for most but not all funds; and has failed for all LSE securities)
