quote lookup should fallback to geo.crox.net...

...or the other way around.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Peeron failing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
The droid should use geo.crox.net as primary data source for the djia, as that 
site checks 
several others for correctness. Peeron only uses finance.google.com and is less 
reliable.

Even though Crox checks three major sources and is double-hosted, I'm of the 
opinion 
that, for now at least, peeron should still be the primary choice, since that's 
what 
the reference implementation uses.  I might think differently later.  However, 
I agree 
otherwise, adding a non-finance.google.com-dependent fallback if peeron doesn't 
have 
data for the day is a good idea.

It also looks like the URL format (http://geo.crox.net/djia/%Y/%m/%d) is the 
same as 
with peeron, so changing HashBuilder to fall back to it shouldn't be too hard.

Actually, looking things over, it actually does make more sense to use Crox 
first, as
it has a lot more redundancies to make sure the stock is right.

To that end, r375 has the update in question.  It should now check against Crox
first, then peeron if Crox fails for whatever reason.

Well, I just released 0.7.5 to the Marketplace, mostly consisting of backports 
of the
non-GeohashService-related stuff in 0.8.0.  Part of this was switching to Crox 
and
using peeron as a backup.  Enjoy!
