Description Ralf Habacker 2018-06-29 20:32:47 UTC

The mentioned web price quote does not work anymore. Connecting a security with this online quote returns 

Unable to parse price for GBP 
Unable to parse date for GBP

The reason is that the related website (for example http://funds.ft.com/uk/Tearsheet/Summary?s=ORCL) changed their implementation and now requires javascript to fetch price and date, which is not supported by the current, KIO based, implementation of class WebPriceQuote. To be able to reuse this online price quote it is required to use a browser engine supporting javascript like QWebkit.

A re-test showed that the site had restored previous behavior, which means that no browser with Javascript support is required to fetch this online quote.

Just for some added information, that service also stopped working for me yesterday - but with an SSH related error.  I changed the URL from http to https and it worked again, although I did continue have a small number of intermittent failures.  Just trying again in a few minutes worked in all those cases.
