ofx.py

[bradhaack]

I'm using ofx.py (available from http://www.jongsma.org/gc/) a python script which downloads ofx formatted data from banks. I don't know python, but it's been working for me until today. I'm using ubunto 9.10, with the latest updates. I think the last update might have broken the script. Did some library update break it? Any ideas? Here's the error msg:

You should first seek for the error name in the doc:

http://docs.python.org/library/httpl....BadStatusLine

I don't think an update could break python, updates that break compatibility are from 2.x to 3.x. Maybe the server you're connecting to is having trouble?

That could be. I can get my ofx file thru the web browser so i lept to the conclusion that it wasn't the server. On the python web site it just says that that error means it's returning an unknown error code. So i don't know with that information.

Anyone else suddenly broken w/ chase?

Chase has apparently changed the URL of its ofx server, as of November 15 or so.

See http://forums.iggsoft.com/viewtopic....1019&start=105

One possible option is to sign up for ibank, turn on debugging, and see what that URL is...

https://ofx.chase.com is the new url.
