Greetings,

[Still a newbie user.]

I live in rural USA where a landline DSL will probably be available some 
time after Hell freezes over.  So I have to rely on a satellite link.  Not 
surprisingly, this fails when there are adverse atmospheric conditions.  
There were thunderstorms for several hours on June 7.  So wunderfixer to 
the rescue!  However, it failed.  Here is the code snippet with my added 
print statement in class Wunderstation.

        _url = 
"http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=%s&"\
        "month=%d&day=%d&year=%d&format=1" % (self.station, 
dayRequested_tt[1], dayRequested_tt[2], dayRequested_tt[0]) 
        print _url   # My addition
        
        try :
            # Hit the weather underground site:
            _wudata = urllib2.urlopen(_url)
        except urllib2.URLError as e :
            print >>sys.stderr, "Unable to open Weather Underground station 
" + self.station, " or ", e

This gave:

bin$ ./my.wunderfixer 
Using configuration file /home/weewx/weewx.conf.
Using database binding 'wx_binding', which is bound to database 
'archive_sqlite'
http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KVASCOTT14&month=6&day=7&year=2019&format=1
Unable to open Weather Underground station KVASCOTT14  or  HTTP Error 403: 
Forbidden
Could not get Weather Underground data. Exiting.

However, when I copied and pasted the printed http address into my browser, 
everything was fine.  I could see all of the reported records with the 
expected data gaps.  I did not get HTTP Error 403 (i.e., e).

So I have some (hopefully trivial) permission error with my access to 
Wunderground.  Can somebody suggest what it is and how I get it fixed?

Thanks,
Gareth.
