What is this odd request to "https://s.yimg.com/uc/finance/dd-site/js/main."? #131

Closed RiverRo closed 1 year ago

I'm looking at my logs and noticed DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://s.yimg.com:443 "GET /uc/finance/dd-site/js/main.e0c853d8cea2b75a5208.min.js HTTP/1.1" 200 None. I see that part of the URL is on line 168 in the etl.py code but I'm not sure what it does. I'm a little surprised by this "non-yahoo" request.

I was wondering the same thing a couple of days ago when I started using this module. If you run nslookup, it shows that it's a yahoo edge server:

'Non-authoritative answer: s.yimg.com canonical name = edge.gycpi.b.yahoodns.net. Name: edge.gycpi.b.yahoodns.net Address: 69.147.82.60 Name: edge.gycpi.b.yahoodns.net Address: 69.147.82.61 '

Hope that helps.

@decodedcoder Thx for the explanation and a re-introduction to what was a forgotten tool for me. I see you opened #132 which was the problem that started my exploration into my logs. Cheers.
