Hi all,
I'm starting to really wonder if I'm doing something wrong, since everyone claims that they don't have this problem. I can telnet to rainmaker.wunderground.com (so whatever short term problem I had yesterday was temporary). But, I still can't access weather information through it. I'm including a script below of my attempts to do so.

Is really no one else having this problem? If the answer to that question is that no one does, then is there something I'm doing wrong?
