TrueFX has changed from HTTP to HTTPS

[mattstone]

Hello,

TrueFX is now responding HTTP 400 Bad request to HTTP requests. So..

https://github.com/braverock/FinancialInstrument/blob/master/inst/parser/download.TrueFX.R

on line 120 the url

http://www.truefx.com/dev/data/

should now be

https://www.truefx.com/dev/data/

I still get an error if I change it to https. Is that because I do not have an account?

Symbol <- "AUDJPY"
ym <- "201607"
yyyy <- substr(ym, 1, 4)
mm <- substr(ym, 5, 6)
zf.name <- paste0("https://www.truefx.com/dev/data/", yyyy, "/", 
                 toupper(month.name[as.numeric(mm)]), "-", yyyy, "/", 
                 Symbol, "-", yyyy, "-", mm, ".zip")
fl <- tempfile()
download.file(zf.name, destfile=fl)

Results in:

downloaded 0 bytes

Error in download.file(zf.name, destfile = fl) :
cannot download all files
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(zf.name, destfile = fl) :
URL 'https://www.truefx.com/dev/data/2016/JULY-2016/AUDJPY-2016-07.zip':

Thanks for the speedy response.

I don't think you need an account (I don't have one).

I've just been able to paste this url into my browser and it happily
downloaded a file.

https://www.truefx.com/dev/data/2016/JULY-2016/AUDJPY-2016-07.zip

Also this worked using the R Code

AUDJPY 201204
