Ensure that the script has double quotes “, looking at the page it seems to have displayed a different character in wordpress

I have just copy and paste your script and host it at this URL but there is a HTTP 500 error.

http://www.londonfaces.co.uk/xml.asp.

Any idea?

I noticed you have an Indian email address , you could always try

http://in.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=MSFT&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

instead of

http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=msft&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

I have tried this in my test PC which is using Xampp and I cannot see an issue I’m afraid. I have a reasonably fast connection and the quotes come in about 1 second maximum time.

Example output

description latest figure
symbol MSFT
last price 15.90
date 3/2/2009
time 1:43pm
change -0.25
open 15.95
high 16.25
low 15.82
volume 46050552
