[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58257] urlwrite 403 Forbidden crashes octave

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #58257 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 4 - Important

Follow-up Comment #2:

Hmm, I can't confirm this on my system. I get the following from urlwrite


>> [f, suc, msg] = urlwrite
('https://www.nasdaq.com/api/v1/historical/amzn/stocks/2010-04-27/2020-04-27',
'/tmp/HistoricalQuotes.csv')
f = 
suc = 0
msg = HTTP response code said error



No crash for me. Is this reproducible?

As to workaround, the supported way to set the User-Agent header in Octave
version 6 is to use webread with weboptions. The equivalent to urlwrite is
websave, but that function isn't yet implemented in Octave.
