Yeah,
I plugged it in, and sure enough it's "Now, Chilly, In Seattle? Duh!"
:)
So I
assume that it does have to do with the subscription fee, has anyone heard
back form the author? Is that the case? I just found the Web Service on
xmethods.com, which says nothing about if a service is subscription or
not...
But it
is pretty interesting? How would he go about detecting if a user is a subscriber
and return null results if not.. I guess its IP or domain based since there is
no "key" or anything being sent with the request.
Is
there an easy way to do this type of subscription blocking?

I’ve created a clone
of this service at: http://keithba.com/WeatherFetcher.asmx
that you can try using.
Try it out, and let
me know if that works…

Fascinating...this service doesn't even
interop .NET 2 .NET. When I build a proxy class with wsdl.exe and make a
request, I still get back the same response Sam and Mick see.
I noticed that the owner of the service
charges for a subsription fee for the service. So, perhaps this is why we
aren't getting results. I've cc'd the service owner to this
reply.

I'm puzzled. Yes, when you use the web page (i.e., HTTP
GET) it works.
But when we send:

glkev.net.innerhost.com

charset=utf-8

What we get back is

OK

So,
I tried posting pretty much EXACTLY what the web page provided as
example
POST, as follows:
> POST /glkev_ws/WeatherFetcher.asmx
HTTP/1.1
> Host: glkev.net.innerhost.com
> Content-Type:
text/xml; charset=utf-8
> Content-Length: 355

<soap:Body>
> <GetWeather xmlns="http://www.myasptools.com/">
>
<zipCode>90201</zipCode>
>
</GetWeather>
> </soap:Body>
>
</soap:Envelope>
What I got back in return was
>

So,
I am going to forward this onto one of my friends at Microsoft to
see if
they have any ideas...
