Error Fetching Portfolio in Yahoo Finance plugin Added in yahoo Messenger?

Question

I am getting "Error Fetching data" in the Yahoo Finance plugin added to my yahoo messenger. Following Error message gets recorded in client_<userid>.log file

"2007/03/09 17:53:09.515[THRD:312] [FT60] Error - HTTP read feed failed."

The plugin works perfectly from my home broadband where I donot have any proxy settings. It fails while fetching the data from my office network where I have to use a proxy setting. I get connected to Yahoo Messenger successfully but the Yahoo Finance plugin fails to fetch the portfolios.

Looks like your best bet is to report this directly to Yahoo!

At the top of the page, there&#039;s a help link.  Click on that, then on one of the categories like Portfolios.

Then click on one of the links like quote basics.  Here&#039;s that page:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance...

Finally, at the bottom is the contact customer care button.  Yes, it&#039;s convoluted, but that&#039;s one way to get there!

Oh, or just click here (if it works).

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance...

Once you get there and ask your question, they&#039;re pretty good at getting back to you, but you may have to ask/answer back and forth a couple of times.



Hope that helps!
