Re: Using DB to cache METARs ?

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

Actually that was my first thought: bad URLs.

So I checked the HTML source.
  - All Good
So I checked the path/subdirs on the web server.
  - All Good

So I went to the subdir where CVS had dumped phpweather on my local hard 
drive, and tried to open an icon file.... Specifically icons/temphigh.png

My preferred graphic viewer (irfanview 3.85) replies with
	{filename}: PNG Decode error !
	This is not a valid PNG File !

Also neither FireBird 0.7+ nor MSIE 6 are able to display that local file.

Loading up the icons/ subdir from the previous release (2.1.2) works 
perfectly fine without changing any code.

Also: downloading the 2.2.0 release (ZIP file) also gives me complete 
working PNGs under icons/

Basically (and I've CVS'd them down several times now) the icons/* files 
I'm receiving from CVS (I'm using WinCVS 1.3.13.2) are arriving 
corrupted and thereby not valid PNG images. All of them. Every time.

I've tried with and without TCP Compression, and WinCVS is always 
dumping into a new empty directory, so there's no mystery file-collision 
weirdness going on either.

So, either
	(a) the PNG icons/ in CVS are corrupted
	(b) WinCVS is corrupting them icons/ as they download

Anyone else out there want to CVS down the latest PHPWeather (preferably 
using Windows and not WinCVS) and let us know if the icons arrive safely?

Thanks,
Phil P
