Data from yahoo.q truncated

[Alex Colson]

Hi,

I'm trying to get familiar with q, so i was trying to use yahoo.q from the cookbook (http://code.kx.com/svn/cookbook_code). On the surface it works fine, but i noticed it is always returning me about the name number of records in the table no matter how many days i specify:

q)count yahoo[360;`GOOG]

18

I to debug it and found out that the result of the http request seems to always be yielding the same length:

q)stock:`GOOG

q)txt: `:http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com "GET /table.csv?s=" , (string stock) , params , " http/1.0\r\nhost:ichart.finance.yahoo.com\r\n\r\n";

q)txt

"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nDate: Tue, 01 May 2012 03:40:49 GMT\r\nP3P: policyref=\"h..

q)count txt

1400

So i'm wondering if i missed some setting somewhere, it's a bug or simply a known limitation ?

Not sure if it is relevant, but i'm using the Play version.

Thanks in advance

Alex.

thanks Alex. We'll fix that.

(Looks like yahoo changed their response such that it doesn't send content-length).
