Change in Environment Canada site???

Post by BlueBear » Tue Aug 29, 2017 10:00 pm

Just noticed that the Canadian Forecast block is not showing the graphics, it does show the text when you click on the more button

http://www.sanfordweather.com/meteo/indexDesktop.php

I've looked a a couple other Canadian sites and they show the same

When I go directly to EC it shows normally?

Looks like EC and NWS are experts on changing their APIs and websites, almost seems to me as if they had a regular CRON to randomly do this. I just checked other templates - same issue. They must have changed it (again!). Great...

version history of this script...

version history of this particular script...

# v2.0 - Oct 21, 2016
# - rewritten code due to changed EC forecast webpage
# v2.1 - Nov 28, 2016
# - changes due to changes in source format
# v2.2 - Aug 30, 2017
# - changes due to major changes at EC website

and still no https

I guess this is the last time, if they do this again I take it like they do it on purpose in which case there is no point in trying...
