Hi Jim,
Yes, it´s a custom script but could be used as some kind of template for another user.
In my case, it is not likely that the HTML will change (after 5 years it´s still the same),
but dependant of how you extract values from the file, you might not need to change the script
even if the HTML file is changed.
And in worst case, you don't need to start over again!
But I agree, I should ask for permission to download data from that site!

HTML from remote PWS

Re: HTML from remote PWS
No, I was not writing about the size of the files.daddylito wrote:I guess that the sizes of the 2 files you mentioned was in bytes and not in bits!
What I was explaining is the following:
- Weather Display produces every 5 seconds a file named 'clientraw.txt' - that file contains 166 bit of weather data - that file is about 715 bytes;
- Cumulus produced every 5 seconds a file named 'realtime.txt' - that file contains 50 bits of weather data data - that file is about 315 bytes.
Could you please give me a link to that weather station - I will probably be able to tell you what weather software is being used and the size of that HTML file.daddylito wrote:The HTML-file is a very small file! The file has only references to images (if any), it doesn't hold any images!

Re: HTML from remote PWS
Hi Ray,
I have included the HTML file below, the size is 3.14 kB (3 223 bytes). Since it´s not my file I have removed/replaced some text.
I still don´t understand what you mean with bits. Do you mean 166 values, items, parts
or are 166 bits stored several times making the file.

Re: HTML from remote PWS
The quote of the file is useless to me - I need the link to the weather Web pages in order to look at the information that is being sent by the server - I do not really need the files, and certainly not the way you have quoted it...daddylito wrote:I have included the HTML file below, the size is 3.14 kB (3 223 bytes).

I am not writing about 'bits and bytes' as I would certainly not use the term 'bits' to indicate the size of a file - I would use 'bytes'.daddylito wrote:I still don´t understand what you mean with bits. Do you mean 166 values, items, parts or are 166 bits stored several times making the file.
What I mean by the number of 'bits' is the number of different 'pieces' of weather data values (one of the definition for the word 'bit' is 'small quantity of something' and not just 'a unit of computer information')...

Re: HTML from remote PWS
Hi Ray!
You wanted to determine the size of the HTML file and I included the file, What did I do wrong?
Below I have included the name and size of all files at the PWS site
Sincerly,
DaddyLito
