My version of LibreOffice is 4.4.7.2
My operating system is OSX 10.11.3
I have written a Basic macro in a Calc spreadsheet to retrieve mutual fund history from yahoo finance.
This is the macro.
[code]
Sub Main
   get_history "VWIAX"
End Sub
Sub get_history(ticker as String)
   Dim Url as String
   Dim oDoc as Object
   Dim oArg(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
   Url = “http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=” & ticker & “&g=m&ignore=.csv”
   Print Url
   oArg(0).Name = “FilterOptions”
   oArg(0).Value = “44”
   oDoc = starDeskTop.loadComponentFromURL(Url, “_blank”, 0, oArg)
End Sub
[/code]
Some tickers which hang are VGSLX, FCNTX and VWIAX.
Some tickers which do not hang are FGMNX, FPURX
