Problem with updating wunderground

[NFLD.Republic]

Okay folks - Here's the problem: I can no longer upload to wunderground.

I have validated by station name and password; e.g. cut-and-paste station ID from wunderground into cumulus, logged into wunderground with the password, typed out the password and cut-and-paste into wunderground (works) and cut-and-paste into cumulus (does NOT work).

Error from debug.log:

Code: Select all

What am I missing here? I'm running production cumulus 1.9.4.1085 on Windows XP SP3.

Help!

Thanks!
Mike

Presumably you haven't changed your password recently? Looks like your last update was on October 1st.

You could try cutting and pasting that update URL into your browser, and putting your password where the asterisks are, to see if you get the same response.

Okay, found it. The problem was that the password was created using a password generator and complex passwords. If there is an ampersand ("&") in the password it will break the upload string...

I was going to ask whether you had any 'unusual' characters in your password. It's possible that Cumulus should be encoding the password to avoid that problem.
