url no longer working as expected

[Paul Dupuis]

I get a response from Yahoos that is an html page with a 404 information 
as part of it.

This happens under LC 9.6.12 and 9.6.11

I think this is Yahoo Finance not being able to detect the browser type 
and intentionally returning a 404 as a method of deterring screen scraping.
