[Libofx-devel] Quicken Host list

[Perry S. <pe...@ea...>]

Again, I am not sure if this is new news.  This sucks down the list of  
Banks, etc from the Quicken 2007 site.

This fails sometimes.  I don't know why.  This all seems way too  
mysterious and flakey to me at this point.

Enjoy,
Perry

Re: [Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[Perry S. <pe...@ea...>]

This patch (attached) is working for me.

(You need to change the 2005 to 2007 as well as VER from 6 to 9.)

Re: [Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[<rg...@sb...>]

I need to correct my statement about the "VER" "fix" -- it was changed from
VER=6 to VER=9 in kmymoney. This change was in one file only in kmymoney,
and after some 'grep'-ing in libofx it looked like it was in one file as well, 
so changed it, but did not get results as in kmymoney.

How to get the ofx server url ? There are many tricks, including the ones you 
mentioned. The last one I used looked the "cleanest":

curl "http://moneycentral.msn.com/money/2005/mnynet/service/olsvcupd/OnlSvcBrandInfo.aspx?MSNGUID=&GUID=%1&SKU=3&VER=9"

where "%1" must be replaced with your fipid

this will return all the relevant info (including the url) of that provider.
(I got that link form the libofx code while dealing with the VER changes)

Re: [Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[Lance R. <lmr...@gm...>]

The website that you're referring to is that of Jeremy Jongsma.  You can
also find the data that Jeremy has packaged there posted in the OFX Blog:
http://ofxblog.wordpress.com/.  It uses ver = 6, though.  From what I
understand, the OFX Blog is soon to update for ver = 9.

Re: [Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[Perry S. <pe...@ea...>]

(Top posting to be consistent -- I know that really upsets some folks.)

This may help a tiny bit.  It may not be new news.

I was going to ask "How do I get the URL's" but then I remembered this  
script that I played with a while back:

getfidata.sh.gz

The web site is here: http://www.jongsma.org/gc.  It has a few  
pointers to things that might be useful.

So I downloaded the script and ran it.  But, all the Provider URL's  
are the stupid cust404 paths.

So, I took the idea below and reversed it.  Starting with the script  
above, replace 2006 with 2007 in the URLs and also replace VER=6 to  
VER=9  (A wild shot in the dark)

On the two files I checked, the URL is valid (well, its not the bogus  
cust404 URL).

I don't know exactly what this means as far as libofx but as far as  
the community, at least there is one way (for now) to get the URLs

Re: [Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[<rg...@sb...>]

I've struggle with the same problem but I got it working by using the
--url option to specify the bank's ofx server directly.

Someone described the 404.htm problem on the kmymoney list.
Thomas, the lead developer, figured out some problem with the msn/provider
differences which he fixed by changing  a parameter (VER=9 to 6) in the code. 
I followed that fix through and applied it to the ofx code, but it did not 
work, aka still getting the 404 page from msn. (note that Thomas' fix did 
resolve the issue in kmymoney). 

This experimentation was done about 2 weeks ago.

[Libofx-devel] cust404 using ofxconnect

[Perry S. <pe...@ea...>]

Hi,

I searched and can not find any hits.

I have libofx 0.9 on a Mac 10.5.  I installed it myself.  I have libxml 
++ version 1.0.5.  I could not tell which version to use.

I can get ofxconnect to get me the list of banks (-b) and the FID (-f)  
and the services it does (-v) but when I try to get the accounts with - 
a I get back:

ofxconnect -a --fipid=7392 --user=pXXXXXXn --pass=oXXXXXXy accounts.ofx
file accounts.ofx
fipid 7392
contacting partner server...
fid 6812
org HAN
url http://moneycentral.msn.com/cust404.htm
user pXXXXXXn
pass oXXXXXXy

The command above is with Bank Of America (not CA, ...).  I also tried  
other BoA FID's.  And I have an account with Chase that I tried.   
Chase use to be Bank One so I tried that too.  I always get back  
(rougly speaking) the above reply.  And, accounts.ofx is actually an  
html page for a page not found.  Both of these accounts I can use via  
their on line banking and the chase account I can use via Quicken.   
So, I'm pretty sure the account and passwords are correct.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or how to debug this.

Thank you,
Perry Smith

[Libofx-devel] LibOFX 0.9.0 Released

[Martin P. <aqu...@gm...>]

Hi,

this is to inform you about the release of LibOFX 0.9.0.

Changes are as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------X8
This release now exports version information thus allowing depending 
applications to determine the version of LibOFX is is compiled against.
Some fields have been added to OfxFiLogin to allow for modification of some 
OFX header fields in outgoing requests. Together with the latest AqBanking3 
this should fix the problem with servers suddenly rejecting connections from 
LibOFX applications.
The calling application can now tell libofx where the data files reside. This 
allows for relocatable binaries (most importantly on Windows).
Some warnings from recent versions of GCC have been fixed.
LibOFX can now easily be cross-compiled for Windows on Linux.
The OFX header is now scanned for a hint regarding the encoding of the 
document and convert the data to UTF8 if iconv is available at compile time.
The API for online requests has been cleaned up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------X8

LibOFX is available 
at "http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61170"

Please report problems or suggestions to the mailing list 
lib...@li... so that we can work on them.


Regards
Martin Preuss

That's my policy also. Actually, we do have source incompatible changes=20
(introduced by Ace some time ago) so 0.9.0 sounds reasonable to me.

Generally I did:
micro =3D bugfix and very minor features.
minor =3D new features and source-incompatible API changes.

I don't mind which you chose, but API changes should have no influence on t=
he=20

an incrementing micro version (0.8.1->0.8.2) and that API changes require t=
he=20
minor version to be incremented (so that the next release would be 0.9.0?).

So the question is: Is 0.9.0 ok with you or do you have another proposal?

[Libofx-devel] New Release?

[Martin P. <aqu...@gm...>]

Hi Benoit,

what do you think about making a new release?
I'm asking this because there have been some changes (some made by Ace some 
time ago, some made by myself in the last weeks) which seem to be important 
enough to warrant a release.

Most importantly libofx now allows adjusting some of the OFX header fields 
which might be solve the problems with some servers which no longer accept 
connections from the latest stable release...


Regards
Martin

You need gengetopt to build from CVS (it's not needed when building from th=

[Libofx-devel] compile error

[David R. <dbr...@ea...>]

I've been having some problems with either my network port or my  
system software, so I commandeered my wife's intel mac to build libofx  
HEAD and try the beta of aqbanking.

I set up everything the way it is on my mac (a slightly older PPC  
based mac), checked out the source, ran autogen and configure (cutting  
and pasting the same env's and switches as I successfully used  
before). But when I run make, I end up with:

gcc -g -O2 -o .libs/ofx2qif ofx2qif.o  ../lib/.libs/libofx.dylib -L/sw/ 
lib /sw/lib/libosp.dylib -lpthread /sw/lib/libintl.dylib -lc /sw/lib/ 
libiconv.dylib -lstdc++

Making all in ofxdump
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `cmdline.c', needed by  
`cmdline.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


am I missing a dependency? I was pretty sure I had all of them covered  
because I built 0.8.3 via fink (and then removed just libofx to build  
Head outside of fink). any other ideas?

Hmm, but how did you overcome the limitation of the old Libofx version in 
regard to looking up the dtd-files? LibOFX had no means to let you 
dynamically set the DTD-folder (it does *now*), and neither did it check any 
registry keys (it still doesn't, but now it doesn't have to).

[Libofx-devel] Latest CVS Changes to LibOFX

[Martin P. <aqu...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have just checked in some changes to the CVS repository of LibOFX:

* libofx.h, ofx_utilities.cpp: replaced some char* with "const char*" to make 
GCC happy, wrapped arithmetic calculations in macro definitions in brackets
to avoid problems
* libofx.h: Removed this file, replaced it with libofx.h.in. This is used to 
create libofx.h which now includes some subst variables conveying the version 
of LibOFX to source files. Introduced LIBOFX_BUILD_VERSION and 
LIBOFX_VERSION_RELEASE_STRING to distinguish even CVS versions.           
Added function libofx_set_dtd_dir() which allows to set the folder in which 
DTD files are stored. This is needed for local installations (e.g. WIN32)
* libofx.pc.in: depending libraries don't need to link against OpenSP 
themselves, since LibOFX encapsulates it, no need to propagate unnecessary 
dependencies

With these changes I was able to compile LibOFX for WIN32, so future versions 
of GnuCash may be shipped with a WIN32 which actually supports OFX Direct 
Connect on that platform, too :-)

However, you will need for GnuCash to adjust to AqBanking3 in order to benefit 
from the changes.


Regards
Martin

Correct....Active statement is a term coined by M$ if I remember correctly

Ususally the protocol is between a program and server, however some

[Libofx-devel] ofx - file or active statement

[Maciej G. <mga...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just want to make sure about my knowledge and understanding of account 
statements and standards.

1. OFX is both file format for statements and a protocol for requesting
    and responsing with statements, is that right ?

2. Active statement means I don't have to download statement into a file
    and than import it into a finansial program, but I can download
    statement directly with the program, is that right ?

3. OFX allows for both: active and static (file) statement ?

Thank you,

Maciej

DTUSER matches ordered date
DTPOSTED matches execution date

looks like gnucash only incorporates DTAVAIL as part of the  
transaction note, if that date info appears in the transaction list

[Libofx-devel] data in transaction statement

[Maciej G. <mga...@gm...>]

Hi,

OFX standard defines three dates in a statement

DTAVAIL - Date funds are available,
DTPOSTED - Date transaction was posted to account
DTUSER - Date user initiated transaction

My bank provides a statements with the following dates:

Ordered Date -- date on which transaction had to be executed (could be 
Sunday)
Execution Date -- date on which transaction was executed

My questions:
1. Which date relates to which ?
2. Which date is imported by GnuCash and shown in list of transaction
    for particular account ?
3. Should a statement from my bank contain date of booking a transaction ?

TIA,

Maciej

Re: [Libofx-devel] Libofx-devel Digest, Vol 12, Issue 2

Yes the OFX data is formatted in SGML.....but that is only for header
100.  Header 200 files are formated XML.  Not all banks support this.

Also, some banks are very picky on following the specification so, be warned.

Hmm. I think the technicality is that the financial information
(starting with <OFX>, after the header) is formatted in SGML. But an OFX
file consists of a header plus financial information. I don't know SGML
at all, but I think that the ofx file header itself is not SGML. But
that header is explicitly compliant with the OFX spec.

Not exactly, but I think I have a pdf of the 2.x ofx spec at home. I can
email you a copy if you would like me to (provided I really did save it...)

[Libofx-devel] is OFX formatted in SGML ??

[Maciej G. <mga...@gm...>]

Hi,

  I found information that OFX files are formatted in SGML.
  But when I take a look on example of OFX file  I cames out that: 
header is not formated in SGML

Am I wrong ?

  BTW, does any one knows what happened to OFX Specification site
  www.ofx.net/ofx/default.asp
  ???

  I've been receiving " (110) Connection timed out" for 2-3 last days.

  Anyone knows mirror of this specification ?

Regards,

Maciej
