Weather.com has removed the URL www.w3.weather.com and its functionality. Unfortunately Meteorologist depends on that URL for parsing weather information. Does anyone know how to replace the functionality of www.w3.weather.com?

    I managed to kludge mine back into operating by editing my /etc/hosts file to include these three lines:

    -----
    63.111.24.22 www.w3.weather.com
    63.111.69.56 www.w3.weather.com
    65.207.183.13 www.w3.weather.com
    -----

    Those are the IP addresses that 'weather.com' is currently pointing to. After I did the edit, I clicked 'refresh' in the menu, and it picked right back up.

    Hey developers, perhaps the ability to edit the server would be a good addition to the next version?

    You're going to have to download the source and modify it. Delete the two occurrences of "w3." that are in the source (in MEWeatherModule.m and MEWeatherModuleParser.m). Replace the weather.xml file with the new one at http://homepage.mac.com/jochs/files/meteo/weather.xml if you want to add new cities. Compile and run; voila!
