Attention User:

Update (9/25/2024 20:24:10): Due to recent security requests from our IT department we are no longer going to be able to provide open/unauthenticated access to browsable data directories. Namely this ...

Getting the same thing here but I've not had a chance to have a proper look yet, so just turned off Digatmos for now.

Try this for your download URL part of the script: This is working for me and tghe same format is working for Metar and Synop downloads as well.

I updated to 3.50a and the main thing I noticed was that it broke the downloads in my script. This turns out to be a change in the way the data file is called when DA makes up the URL.

Tim,
Is there a way to build in a timeout for the data retrieval which ...
