Description Larry Rainey 2023-11-01 00:46:34 UTC 
from https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmateweather/pull/79

We upgraded our website today. The old Java based Dataserver was retired. So the URL for the dataserver has changed.

OLD: https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam
NEW: https://www.aviationweather.gov/cgi-bin/data/dataserver.php

I was able to hack the libmateweather.so file to change the URL and get Mate weather working again.

I patched mine and weather works again

The Leap 15.6 update put this bug back into Mate

www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam was retired years ago

www.aviationweather.gov/cgi-bin/data/dataserver.php  is the replacement


This was fixed 3 years ago.
