I get the same error:


require 'net/http'
require 'date'

def get_historical_data(symbol, startDateString, endDateString)
  startDate = Date.parse(startDateString)
  endDate = Date.parse(endDateString)
  query = "/table.csv?s=#{symbol}&g=d"
  query.concat("&a=#{startDate.month-1}&b=#{startDate.mday}&c=#
{startDate.year}")
  query.concat("&d=#{endDate.month-1}&e=#{endDate.mday}&f=#
{endDate.year.to_s}")
  Net::HTTP.start("itable.finance.yahoo.com", 80) { |http|
    res = http.get(query)
    res.body
  }
end

puts get_historical_data("MSFT", "12/28/2008", "1/7/2009")

--output:--
