[kmymoney] [Bug 417142] cannot find yahoo finance under online quotes

[Brendan Coupe]

First, to be clear, the Yahoo quote problem started when Verizon
bought them. This is Verizon problem.

After having trouble with Yahoo quotes several times after Verizon
took over and adjusting my settings at least 2 or 3 times they have
been working flawlessly for me for quite a while.

I'm hoping I don't jinx myself by mentioning it here. I have not tried
"Use Finance:Quote" and probably won't until it's a global setting or
Verizon screws up Yahoo quotes again.

Here are my settings:

URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?fields=regularMarketPrice&symbols=%1
CSV URL: (blank)
Identifier: %1
Identified by: Symbol
Price: "regularMarketPrice":((\d+|\d{1,3}(?:[,]\d{3})).\d+)
Date: "regularMarketTime":([\d]+)
Date Format: (blank)

Check the box "Skip HTML stripping"
