-------------------------------------
Summary: Replace logic for StockTracker demo since Yahoo has
discontinued its API to download stock data
Key: PIVOT-1026
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1026
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tutorials
Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.1
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Fix For: 2.1
Yahoo has as of around mid-2017 discontinued the "download.finance.yahoo.com"
API for downloading stock data. There are new APIs that are meant to be used
only by browsers (in order to satisfy Yahoo's Terms and Conditions, involving
the use of a crumb and cookies). So, the StockTracker tutorial is effectively
rendering unusable as of now until replacement logic is available. There is a
Visual Basic solution here:

that is complicated but seems to work at least.
