Re: cust404 using ofxconnect

(Top posting to be consistent -- I know that really upsets some folks.)

This may help a tiny bit.  It may not be new news.

I was going to ask "How do I get the URL's" but then I remembered this  
script that I played with a while back:

getfidata.sh.gz

The web site is here: http://www.jongsma.org/gc.  It has a few  
pointers to things that might be useful.

So I downloaded the script and ran it.  But, all the Provider URL's  
are the stupid cust404 paths.

So, I took the idea below and reversed it.  Starting with the script  
above, replace 2006 with 2007 in the URLs and also replace VER=6 to  
VER=9  (A wild shot in the dark)

On the two files I checked, the URL is valid (well, its not the bogus  
cust404 URL).

I don't know exactly what this means as far as libofx but as far as  
the community, at least there is one way (for now) to get the URLs
