Hi again,

I generally use Quantmod package to download stock data. However
recently I observed that it is unable to download the data although
Source file is available.

Below is Error I found when I use Quantmod :

> library(quantmod)
> getSymbols("^NSEI")
Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m,  :
  cannot open URL
'http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^NSEI&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=3&e=18&f=2017&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=^NSEI&x=.csv'

However the Source file
"http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^NSEI&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=3&e=18&f=2017&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=^NSEI&x=.csv"
is available for manual download.
