From 515cc0dd6bc24d56e85803f626e60fa70bb73b4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Adrian C. (anrxc)" Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 01:50:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Weather widget switched to curl. It is somewhat lighter, faster and simpler than wget. It is as common as wget these days... from GnuPG to Git and Gimp, they all depend on it, and we all have it installed. --- weather.lua | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/weather.lua b/weather.lua index e156da8..3dba976 100644 --- a/weather.lua +++ b/weather.lua @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ function worker(format, station) local noaa = "http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/decoded/" -- Get info from a weather station - local f = io.popen("wget --timeout=3 -o /dev/null -O - "..noaa..station..".TXT") + local f = io.popen("curl --max-time 3 -f -s "..noaa..station..".TXT") local ws = f:read("*all") f:close()
