1. Where is the Finance::Quote webpage?
=======================================
http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/
2. Where can I get a beginner's introduction to F::Q?
=====================================================
A good beginner's guide is the Finance::Quote article in
The Perl Journal (http://www.tpj.com/) edition #19. If you
don't have a subscription to TPJ, you can also read the
final draft of this essay at
<http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/documentation.html>.
3. How can I use proxyauth (experimental)?
==========================================
WARNING: THIS SUPPORT IS EXPERIMENTAL AND SYNTAX _WILL_ CHANGE IN
THE FUTURE. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
Finance::Quote provides experimental support for authenticated
proxies. If you wish to try this, then put the following at the
top of your script.
use Finance::Quote;
$Finance::Quote::USE_EXPERIMENTAL_UA = 1;
This adds extra features on top of the regular LWP::UserAgent
class. In particular, you can now do things like this:
my $q = Finance::Quote->new();
$q->user_agent->default_headers->proxy_authorization_basic($user,$pass);
The result of $q->user_agent->default_headers is a HTTP::Headers
object, and can use all the regular HTTP::Headers methods.
This object is used as a template for any new HTTP requests made by
Finance::Quote.
4. Is there anything similar to F::Q in other programming languages?
====================================================================
Vidyut Luther has written a stock-lookup library in PHP. It's
available at <http://www.gotslack.com/stocks/>
Bill Bell has written a stock-lookup library in Java. It's
available at <http://www.aboutbillbell.com/>. Follow the
"Code Downloads" link in the left sidebar.
5. Where can I get more help?
=============================
If you haven't already done so, try the Finance::Quote webpage
at <http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/>. There are also lots
of fun things like bug-tracking systems, support requests, forums,
and other goodies at <https://sourceforge.net/projects/finance-quote/>.
Finally, you can always try sending mail to the Finance::Quote
developer's list, at <finance-quote-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.
The archives of this list are available on-line at
<http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4232>.
