Public bug reported:

When running 'ofxconnect' for the first time (eg: 'ofxconnect -b' to get
a list of all known OFX banks), ofxconnect attempts to retrieve an XML
file from money.msn.com by POSTing some magic values to
/money/2005/mnynet/service/ols/filist.aspx?SKU=3&VER=6

This returns an 'Object Moved' page that doesn't appear to work when
pasting directly into a browser.

Searching online, this appears to be a common technique:

http://jongsma.org/svn/ofx-banks/trunk/getfidata.sh

https://github.com/aasmith/bankjob/blob/master/scripts/getfidata.sh

But neither of those work either. I can't find the incantation required
to make MSN search return a proper URL.

I would suggest that a default set of files (it retrieves several, all
of which fail) be shipped with the package (something is better than
nothing?) or perhaps link to the data at http://www.ofxhome.com/
somehow.
