          Description

          The current Google Finance exchange rate processor uses http://rate-exchange.appsport.com/currency. This API acts as a proxy for the google API and is consistently down due to google quota limits.

          Instead we should use google directly via: https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a=1&from=USD&to=CAD

          Parameters:

          • a = The amount
          • from = The from currency ISO
          • to = The to currency ISO

          Returned result is HTML, and the converted value can be obtained by parsing it out from:

          <div id="currency_converter_result">1 USD = <span class="bld">1.1194 CAD</span>
<input type="submit" value="Convert">
</div>

            The current exchange rate processor is no longer available at all, so it will need to be updated for v4.
