Can't download data from Yahoo Finance again.

[Yiming-WANG]

several days ago, it was fixed. (I downloaded the developer version)
It happened again minutes ago.

d> getSymbols(stockList, src = "yahoo")
Error in curl::curl_download(paste0(yahoo.URL, Symbols.name, "?period1=", :
HTTP error 401.

When reporting an issue, please follow the instructions in "Have a bug report or feature request?" in the contributing guide. In this case, you need to:

1. "Ensure your fork and local copy are up-to-date, and verify the bug still exists in the HEAD of the master branch." (You are not using the latest development version.)
2. "Include ... the output from sessionInfo()."

Everything works fine for me. The following code loads YHOO data from Yahoo as expected:

library(quantmod)
getSymbols("YHOO")

I've installed a developer version of quantmod with:

devtools::install_github("joshuaulrich/quantmod")

Here is my sessionInfo():

Sorry, I was using quantmod 0.4-8 last night.
There is no problem on quantmod 0.4-9.

Thanks for confirming! Closing as a duplicate of #157.
