from https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/merge_requests/29#note_100961 There is a universal source that tracks virtually every investment product out there: https://www.investing.com. Except it is not compatible with LibAlkimia, which expects the websites to show a specific investment's page using a URL GET, while investing.com supports POST only. libalkimia should be extended to support also POST requests. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS In order not to be forced to change the format of the quote file, the request type should be added to the url.
For such support a test service has been added to the kmymoney web site. Post requests can be checked by using the following url: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "a=ORCL" https://kmymoney.org/onlinequotestest.php
On adding an online source for investing.com with bug 429440 it turned out, that there is no post request required to fetch associated sources.
