Summary: Doesn't work on Lycos web space

Initial Comment:
On Lycos the the fsockopen() function is disabled. This 
makes phpweather 2.0 not to work, whereas the 1.6.* 
versions, using the file() function, worked.

The solution, I guess, would be to abstract the logic that 
downloads a METAR so that people can choose 
between using file(), fsockopen() or something else
if they need to...

Unfortunately, I can't do such a thing, due to my poor 
coding skills. Anyone up to it :) ?

Thanks a million,

Fabio

I've fixed this in CVS - you can now specify a
fetch_function in your defaults.php file. Setting
fetch_function to 'get_metar_socket' will use fsockopen(),
setting it to 'get_metar_file' will use file() instead.
