[GNC] Quotes again?

[Kalpesh Patel]

Yahoo's new changes are fixated on the value of the user agent header being passed. The quick fix is to replace line 48 of YahooJSON.pm module of the latest version from:

my $browser = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36';

to:

my $browser = 'Mozilla/5.0';

Calling http://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v1/test/getcrumb on command line is failing but browser version works. I would not be surprised if they introduced some sort of anti-programmatic use measures.
	
I will check if there is fix for it but it will most likely will not be until the weekends.

Error accessing query2.finance.yahoo.com/v1/test/getcrumb.

Someone worked out a patch for the original problem 2 years or so back which involves setting a crumb, but obviously Yahoo has again changed something and it doesn't work anymore. This particular API apparently hasn't been supported for some time, so this is hardly a surprise.
