I figured a JSON parser on a       server was the way to go. I'm not a great coder, but I can get by if I really       plug-in. I just didn't have the time (nor the immediate knowledge) to do such       a thing. I thrashed        about with a ton of different ideas, but the one that worked immediately was       simply feeding a URL with airport codes into FrogFind. ActionRetro is the real       weather provider! Where I got stuck was inputing zip codes. The API just       didn't seem to take it        until I tried airport codes. Maybe there's a parameter I missed, but zip codes       just wouldn't work. Took a while, but I finally found an easy solution (for       me). Thanks for reading, and I will certainly watch here for your NDA! Peace...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
