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

[Jack]

Some googling has suggested that akamai might be somehow involved (does  
your error include "reverencd #18." followed by a long hex string (with  
some dots.)

One suggestion is to do a nslookup of the server name.  If you get  
something including akamaiedge (or something like that) try using a  
different dns server that will give you the real host you're trying to  
reach.  You could then test using the IP address instead of host name  
in the URL.  Probably not a good idea to leave it that way, but it  
might give you a temporary way to get your work done.
