[GNC] CMBChina Symbols for Finance::Quote

[Bruce Schuck]

John,

Thanks, but that was something I came across in my hours of wasted time. 
But, Funds do expire, change, etc. So I'm still wanting to have a link 
where I can easily grab another symbol before I even attempt to debug 
the module. It was only a few months ago when the original author 
submitted the PR to add the module.

Yeah... looks like this module was short lived.

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.

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.
