I saved it as server.py.
Run it with
- Code: Select all
python3 server.py
Use this link in a web browser to test it. I used Firefox.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/////data/observat ... s/KSFO.TXT
Note 5 slashes after 8080. It should display KSFO weather. If so, it is working.
BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER: Copy your original fgfs executable out of harm's way as a backup in case of problems.
Edit the fgfs executable with a binary (HEX) editor, I used ghex from the Ubuntu repository.
Search for "http://t". You will find this string:
http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observat ... /stations/
Edit it to this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/////data/observat ... /stations/
Ensure you don't insert new text. Overwrite only. Note the five slashes. Don't worry. The server.py code removes them.
Save.
I guarantee nothing. It works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
