Yes.
put url "https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/SHEL.L/history/";
In the message box on 9.6.11 and 9.6.12 under Windows 11. Both return a
pile of HTML text that is all the formatting and CSS linked stuff to
show a "404" page.
This suggests that put URL is working and it is the Yahoo server that
returning a different page of HTML/CSS for the put vs when you enter the
URL in a browser (Firefox in my case, where I get the Yahoo finance data
for Shell, although I did have to respond to a Cookies dialog first).

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?
