Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnucash
Version Information: GnuCash 2.2.9 Ubuntu 10.10 Kernel Linux 2.6.35-24-generic GNOME 2.32.0 (64-bit) I have stocks in NSE (National Stock Exchange) India and I do not have problems pulling quotes for other stocks from Yahoo Finance, by setting them up in Security Editor. But when I use a stock symbol that has an ampersand ( & ) in the symbol, it fails to fetch the quote. Example security: Namespace: NSE Full Name: Mahindra & Mahindra LtD Symbol/Abbreviation: M&M.NS Type: NSE ISIN, CUSIP or other code: INE101A01026 Fraction Traded: 1/1 If we choose 'Get Online Quotes' and Single - Yahoo in the Security Editor, and later in Price Editor click on [Get Quotes], then it fails for the stock that contains & in its symbol. Workaround for problem: Do not use automated quote fetch - enter price manually. (Not an ideal solution of course). Probable Cause: The ampersand may need to be escaped with %26 while querying Yahoo since the URL for the above example in Yahoo is http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=M%26M.NS Please let me know if you need more information. ** Affects: gnucash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694197 Title: GnuCash 'GetQuotes' fails on stock code containing ampersand -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
