Details:

Installed the latest financial package version (0.5.1) which fixed the old
google 'fetch' problem. However, trying the new version returns an error as
google thinks it is from an automated source and will not allow the exchange.

The code is simple:
------------------------------------------
pkg load financial

connection = google();
ticker = 'AAPL';
fromDate = "01-Jan-2018";
endDate = "30-May-2018";
frequency = "d";
[d f] = fetch(connection, ticker, fromDate, endDate, frequency);
d = flip(d);

dates = d(:,1);
openPrice = d(:,2);
high = d(:,3);
low = d(:,4);
closePrice = d(:,5);

highlow(high, low, openPrice);

-------------------------------the message from Octave is:
error: Could not write Google data to tmp file:
HTTP response code said error
URL was:
http://finance.google.com/finance/historical?q=AAPL&startdate=01-Jan-2016&enddate=30-Mar-2016&histperiod=daily&output=csv
