Brendan,
I don't know if it will help or just confuse more, but have you
captured the full OFX conversation? In your home directory, create an
empty file called ofxlog.txt. Then try connecting again (try updating
and remapping separately). That file will then contain the actual ofx
conversation, including (as best I can tell) the actual URL used by
KMM, and the actual response from the bank, before being interpreted by
either libofx or KMM. Be careful posting results, because that file
will contain plain text password and account number.

I think you misunderstood what I meant to say. I would not bank over
http either.
While mapping the account via KMM, which I think uses the settings on
ofxhome.com, the URL is https. I don't think there is any chance this
bank would allow http connections. This is a major bank in the US.
When I look at my kmy file, the URL is https.
The only thing that has http (without the s) is the error message when
I try to access my bank or if I try to map online banking again.
So everything is http except the URL in the error message.
Is all of the text in the error message coming from the bank or is KMM
generating the error based on error codes? I don't see anything in the
source code so I don't think it's coming from KMM. Could it be coming
from libofx if not the bank?
I'm really hoping this is not a bank problem because I'll probably
never get them to fix it. I'm starting to lose hope though.
I have another bank with 2 savings accounts. In one the OFX file has
positive numbers for interest earned. In the other the interest is
negative. I have to run a command on the OFX file before I import it
or the interest goes into the Payment column instead of the Deposit
column. I have made many phone calls an barely got the last person to
understand the difference between plus and minus. Once they did they
said they would take care of it. Many months later....
The text of the error message is:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access
"http://www.Bank2.com/cards/xxxx/Bank2.do"; on this server.
