From yahoo with a script that does the cookie/crumb thing.

I sure miss when you could just put a bunch of space-separated tickers in the quote box. But it's not as if I ever paid them anything, so I can't really complain.
But intraday snapshot prices are not a problem for me, I can just put a bunch of tickers on a page within IB's TWS app, and either cut-and-paste or export as csv.

But the Yahoo crumb thing is needed for history.
I can't remember the long thread of comments, what's the best version of that to use?
Minimal set of programs to install, I have ancient versions of absolutely everything.
