For that last question, go to my page
http://unicorn.us.com/trading/quotes.html
...and look at the page source for the yahoo quotes.
Yahoo used to have options that let you select whether to get a web
page or a comma-delimited text file, choose the file extension, etc.
That no longer works. Now it just gets a comma-delimited textfile.
The format for the HTTP query is
http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?a=M1&b=D1&c=Y1&d=M2&e=D2&f=Y2&g=X&s=S&q=q&x=.csv&y=0&z=data
where
M1=start month (0-11)
D1=start day of month
Y1=start year
M2=end month (0-11)
D2=end day of month
Y2=end year
X= d=daily, w=weekly, m=monthly, v=dividends
S= stock symbol
The other things might be optional but they're the complete options.
