Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

So, after trying different methods of communicating with the treasurydirect site, I finally bit the bullet and updated my Perl modules (via a cpan "upgrade" command) and the problem has been fixed. Don't know which module was mucked up or how it got that way, but things are working fine, now. I

Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

The only CPAN-related stuff I've done was updating Finance::Quote during the Yahoo-caused quote debacle. Other than that, I tend to leave things as is, since OS X is allegedly pretty snotty about having things mucked about with. Near as I can figure the problem is solely with the

Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

John, I get the results you get from "curl". A whole lot of code. So this narrows my troubles down to the use of Perl for requests? I'm currently using version 5.18. - Ken Farley -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html

I'm not using a proxy. I tried using identification strings for a few other browers, like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. and to no avail. - Ken Farley -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___

Well, that really does me in, I guess. Odd that I can use their on-site tools to get values of things, but can't via Perl. - Ken Farley -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list

Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

I did try this. The only effect from changing it is to get a different number at the end of the failure message, i.e. it goes from "Can't connect to www.treasurydirect.gov:80 (Connection refused)" to "Can't connect to www.treasurydirect.gov:443 (Connection refused)" This is rather mysterious

Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

The API is documented, but again, attempts to communicate with it yield the same message: Can't connect to www.treasurydirect.gov:80 (Connection refused) It just seems that the site doesn't want to accept any communications. I'd be interested if someone else was able to get anything out of the

Hi Frank. I substituted the definition of the URL with the following my $urlSite = "https://www.treasurydirect.gov/; ; But I still get the same message about the connection being refused. Going by the normal browser activity, I can get to the ..BC/SBCPrice page and get prices, etc. It just

I'm using the bond quote grabbing code I wrote in 2012 which has been serving me faithfully since 2016-04-04. I am using https in the url, here's the full contents I get from the post request: Can't connect to www.treasurydirect.gov:443 (Connection refused) LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: connect:

Re: Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

Well, it appears that the only data being returned by quote requests is: "Can't connect to www.treasurydirect.gov:80 (Connection refused)" Don't have any idea why - my Perl experience is rather limited. Definitely throws a wrench into the works for me, though. - Ken Farley -- Sent from:

Has the Treasury Direct interface changed?

I've been able to obtain quotes from the Treasury Direct (treasurydirect.gov) for a while, until 2017-12-12. Does anyone know if the interface of this site has changed lately? I know I'll have to investigate to update my Perl code to get these, but just thought I'd check if anyone has clues that
