I have to admit, that my last comment was not correct. This is not a libofx 
problem. Sorry for the noise on the libofx devel list.

Seems that the functionality is split. KMyMoney downloads the data and passes 
a file onto libofx. Since the download fails, it's clearly a KMyMoney 
problem. 

I noticed, that KMyMoney uses a fixed HTTP POST to retrieve the data. Could it 
be, that those banks only support a HTTP GET as access? This would match the 
error 405 which says 'wrong access method'.

Maybe, someone who can reproduce the problem and has some knowledge about 
programming can look into the problem. I can give advise on where to look and 
what to do on an abstract level, but I don't want to change any logic w/o 
having a single test facility. Any help appreciated at this point.
