Dave, The fix is easy this time! See my reply (below) to the list from a few days ago...
The NWS changed all "HTTP" to "HTTPS" a while back and never announced it then recently they turned off the forwarding in the routers. 73 Dave KB3EFS -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Xastir] Problems with ridge radar maps Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2017 15:52:22 -0500 From: David A Aitcheson <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: Xastir - APRS client software discussion <[email protected]> Lynn and All, That is EXACTLY the case. I have tested a '.geo file with the following changes for the "BUF_N0R" file... 0a1 > #[BUF_N0R - fixed url from http:// to https:// by KB3EFS - 2017-03-03] 4c5,6 < URL http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/BUF_N0R_0.gif --- > #URL http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/BUF_N0R_0.gif > URL https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/RadarImg/N0R/BUF_N0R_0.gif With above change I am able to get the BUF_NOR map again. (TYX is my normal Radar but it is down due to a waveguide switch failure.) Now begins the fun of writing a script to find and change all of the geo files that need to be changed. 73 Dave KB3EFS On 03/03/2017 02:54 PM, Lynn W.
