Garbled up html output

Garbled up html output

[Partha Pratim Ghosh]

Dear All,

I used _curl wttr.in_ on a terminal; it produced a nice formatted
message.

However _M-x wttrin_ inside emacs produces a buffer with html text; the
table appears way down, but the output is not formatted.

Please can some one help in this...


With my regards and all the very best wishes,

partha

The package is not updated. Following two fragments need update. I have
also created a pull request on github and cc'ing the maintainer here.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defcustom wttrin-default-accept-language "en-US,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6,zh;q=0.4"
  "Specify default HTTP request Header for Accept-Language."
  :group 'wttrin
  :type '(list)
  )

(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query)
  "Get the weather information based on your QUERY."
  (let ((url-user-agent "curl")
	(url-mime-language-string wttrin-default-accept-language))
    (with-current-buffer
        (url-retrieve-synchronously
         (concat "http://wttr.in/" query)
         (lambda (status) (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))))
      (decode-coding-string (buffer-string) 'utf-8))))
#+end_src

Dear Pankaj,

Please accept my thanks for replying to the query.

I tried to run your script from .emacs file.

After this I tried _M-x wttrin_ and it returned the error: wrong
argument type listp: "en-US,en;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.6,zh;q=0.4"

Please can you suugest further changes and/help...

With my regards and all the very best wishes,

My changes were not for .emacs file. You will have to replace functions
in the package. Somewhere in your **/elpa/wttrin.el. And remove the
compiled version (.elc). This is just a workaround till you get update
from MELPA.

The below var and func are already defined in wttrin.el. You just have to
replace them with the code below.
