I get a response from Yahoos that is an html page with a 404 information
as part of it.
This happens under LC 9.6.12 and 9.6.11
I think this is Yahoo Finance not being able to detect the browser type
and intentionally returning a 404 as a method of deterring screen scraping.

Platform: Windows 11, LC 9.6.12
Query: Using URL to access a web page
Problem:
Enter "https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/SHEL.L/history/"; into any web
browser and the page is displayed as expected.
Use LC's URL command to access the same page direct returns a 404
put url "https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/SHEL.L/history/";
Anyone got any insights?
