Not sure if this is the correct forum to post. This week I have been having intermittent issue with accessing Yahoo Finance website. Not sure if anyone else have noticed it.

It used to be fine till last week. When I update the dataset with Wealth-Lab Developer 6.9, it fails to update the symbols. I'm open to any suggestions or workaround.

This is the messages in LastUpdateLog :

Just an update - after reading the other posts, clearing the cookies in the browser seems to work with access to yahoo finance using the browser.

I tried restarting WLD, but it did not fix the problem. Maybe the Yahoo session cookies are not cleared from WLD ?

Yes, restarting WLD clears the Yahoo session cookies. "(414) URI Too Long" followed by Error 404 was what we discussed here:

Thanks Eugene.

Looks like I ran into same problem/solution as discussed in this thread :

(after switching to mobile hotspot, it worked)
