[GNC] CMBChina Symbols for Finance::Quote

[John Ralls]

Bruce,

I don’t use it, but I visited the URL from the module, https://cfweb.paas.cmbchina.com/personal/prodvalue.aspx and told Safari to translate it. There’s a search box into which I entered XY040208 and clicked the search button. That produced a table with prices. The page source’s body contains a script and no other content so IIUC it’s not scrapable.

Regards,
John Ralls

I have spent a considerable amount of time search for a list of valid funds in order to change the symbol used for testing with no success. I have attempted to contact the module's original author for the last 2 or 3 weeks and have not received a response.
