I Need your Help.

For the past few days I have been a lot busy, so taking the first opportunity to share the most important joy of my life with the Getbhavcopy community members, who have now become an extended family.

My wife delivered a baby girl on April 7th. Both mother and baby are fine.

We have named her Vidhi. Sharing her picture.

NSE has updated the NSE indices data page with some additional checks that blocked Getbhavcopy. It also changed the HTML code a bit causing the Getbhavcopy parser to fail.

This has now been fixed in version 2.1.2a.

I understand the frustration you all feel when Getbhavcopy does not work, that itself speaks for the value of this software, but that I would like to make a few points clear to the community due the recent allegations I have come across

First and foremost, apologies for not responding this long. I am really busy with my office work and i am not getting any time to work on Getbhavcopy. Moreover there are few things on the personal front that are occupying my other time.

I understand the plight of all the Getbhavcopy users but I hope you will understand my current situation.

I will try to look into this over the weekend if possible, but please do not take this as a commitment.

First of all apologies for the inconvenience caused due to the 403 Forbidden error message that started showing up recently. NSE has made some changes on their server side that blocked Getbhavcopy (and other similar downloaders) from downloading data.

This issue has been fixed in this alpha version and Getbhavcopy is able to download as before from NSE and BSE. I will soon some with a proper version after rearrenging my code and some additional features.

Looks like NSE has got smart and has enabled some additional checks that is blocking Getbhavcopy from downloading the files.

First of all I would like to apologise all the members of Getbhavcopy community for the delays caused in addressing your issues. I have been really very busy these days with my office work that I am unable to dedicate any time to address your woes.

Saying that, I am really impressed with the way community members are coming together to help each other out. I never expected Getbhavcopy to become so popular.

Mr. MurthyMSR (who has been a long time supporter) ...

There is not much activity on the forums these days. May be everyone is really busy like I have been over the past few weeks (causing me to delay this release which i promised to do on 31 Jan). Anyway, i hope this new release spices things up a bit.

First of all I would like to draw your attention to the 'a' after the version number for this relese. If you...
