[kmymoney] [Bug 396831] 5.0 Version - Crashes when importing OFX/QFX File Using Firefox

[Jack]

Nothing showing up in ofxlog.txt does seem pretty strange to me.  What  
happens if you point your browser to the URL KMM seems to be using  
(with https:)?

Looking at the errors logged at ofxhome, it seems other folks have had  
the same issue in 2017, but no clear resolution.

 From the error message, can you tell if it's an HTTP error or an OFX  
error?  It sounds like HTTP, but I don't know that helps any with  
solving it.
