I upgraded to WD 10.37/296 successfully and being a brave soul, decided to add Awekas to CWOP, WU and PWS. I registered with Awekas, got approved, put my ID and password on the Awekas configuration page in WD, selected Awekas direct, set up the times, turned on the main switch and sat back, satisfied that I was again playing a part in protecting the world.
Nothing happened. WD shows a line at the bottom of the configuration page that indicates that it is uploading. However when I check my Awekas page, it says nothing has been uploaded since December of 1969.
When I type that line into my browser (boy, I wish we could copy and paste from the configuration pages), I get a page which says bad ID/Password (in German, of Course).
Now it gets creepy. When I go to Awekas, I am able to log in with the same “bad” ID/Password. I can go to my station page, I can even go to my change user data page and change my password, save it, and then log in with the new password. But when I put that ID/Password into the Awekas configuration page in WD, nothing goes through and when I type the line at the bottom of the configuration page into the browser with the new password, I get the same bad ID/Password message. I’m stuck. How can I save the world if I can’t get my data up to a fourth service?
I just followed a suggestion on the Awekas forum and put my password through an md5 hash generator. I then copied the resultant hash to the Awekas setup page in Weather Display. Now my data is uploading. It was suggested that this means that the md5 hash encryption that Weather Display uses may have a problem.
Still not working. The hash for the password in the transmit string at the bottom of the Awekas configuration page is not the same as what I get with the online md5 hash generator (which works to transmit to Awekas with my browser). Look at it tomorrow.
it’s more difficult that I thought to get working
turns out to be a compiler thing (to do with ansistrings)
I will need to find an alternative method
either that I have it where it will use what you enter?
(i.e via an online md5 creator)
(which is what was happening in the previous version)
