Hi Forum!
On October 11 2022, 6:38 PM CET, Wundergound stops reporting my WPS-data, stating my PWS is offline. My station (IUTRECHT299) however, continued to operate until this very day.
Although I repeatedly tried to get feedback from Wunderground, they remain totally unresponsive.
These are my supporttickets:
Request Number 03498067 [ ref:_00DA0L1VM._5002K16vxCO:ref ]
Request Number 03591144 [ ref:_00DA0L1VM._5002K16yvh0:ref ]
As I wanted to be absolutely sure the error was not on my side, I ran WhireShark to analyse the traffic between my PWS and Wunderground:

Apart from TCP handshakes, it can be seen on line 5 that my station (source 192.168.178.100) sends a HTTP "GET" and further information to destination 54.159.105.134 (rtupdate.wunderground.com). Wundergound (source 54.159.105.134) replies on line 7 with a "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found".
What can be made of that?? Did Wunderground update its serversoftware? Did it move to another address? Or am I just cancelled?
My station hardware is FOSHK WH2600, Renkforce version. Firmware: Weather Logger V 2.1.9. It allows me to change the address it is sending its information to. I can change "server type" from PHP (current) to JSP or ASP. Other configuration options are non-existent. The station cooperated flawlessly with Wundergound since 2015, most of the time flying a "Golden Star". From that I conclude the protocol on my side is not on error.
What to do? Did anyone have the same problem? How to have a (two-way) communication with Wunderground?
I hate it when a good contraption cannot function because a remote party starts to neglect it....
Please help me out?
Kind regards,
