Yahoo! Finance CSV file will not return Dow Jones (^DJI)

I am trying to retrieve market data from Yahoo! finance and the script has worked fine for years, but recently, it stopped showing The Dow Jones data. Here is the URL:

http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^DJI,^IXIC,^GSPC,^TNX&f=snl1d1t1c1ohg

The URL should return data on:

  • Dow Jones
  • NASDAQ
  • S&P
  • 10 Year Bonds

It actually doesn't get returned into the CSV for me, I have tried everything I can think of, but to no avail, and I haven't seen anyone having the same problem online.

Any ideas and is anyone having the same issues?

Thanks.

Replace ^DJI with INDU (that's one of the tickers for the Dow) - that will work.

No idea why ^DJI stopped working last weekend - someone has made a 'negative enhancement'.
