Re: cust404 using ofxconnect

I need to correct my statement about the "VER" "fix" -- it was changed from
VER=6 to VER=9 in kmymoney. This change was in one file only in kmymoney,
and after some 'grep'-ing in libofx it looked like it was in one file as well, 
so changed it, but did not get results as in kmymoney.

How to get the ofx server url ? There are many tricks, including the ones you 
mentioned. The last one I used looked the "cleanest":

curl "http://moneycentral.msn.com/money/2005/mnynet/service/olsvcupd/OnlSvcBrandInfo.aspx?MSNGUID=&GUID=%1&SKU=3&VER=9"

where "%1" must be replaced with your fipid

this will return all the relevant info (including the url) of that provider.
(I got that link form the libofx code while dealing with the VER changes)
