(Solved) weather error empty answer received

[HarryT]

Hi Harry,

I had the same Problem. Look here:

After that it worked for me.

Thanks for your answer Johannes, in the mean time I found out it was indeed with the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. However your description is about installing HTTPS for incoming traffic and the problem is with outgoing traffic. It might be that something is installed for both. However I have no idea how I should install that on a Fritzbox yet.

Hi Harry,

You can omit the step "attr WEB HTTPS".
But without the perl-ssl-modules and the directory fhem/certs
with the certs inside (and permissions set) it won't work.

As I wrote: I had exact the same Problem and after doing as described
in post #2 it worked!
BTW: look in Your Log. At the beginning of the log (after system starts) there is a line
"falling back to HTTP" or so, isn't it?


Viele Grüße,

Thanks, but I have really no idea how I should install the necessary perl modules on my fritzbox. Anybody??
Besides I am afraid the perl modules will need  ssl software on the fritzbox and as far as I know, the fritzbox has no ssl client installed.

I have no message in the logs about anything with HTTP or HTTPS.

Maybe the end of FHEM on a Fritzbox is closer as I expected. At the moment I can change the HTTPS call for weather back to HTTP, but Yahoo could change that in the near future and then block all work arounds.

Harry, I am working on an improved version of Weather that allows, among others, to choose whether HTTP or HTTPS are used. If the http call in YahooWeatherAPI works fine for you then just wait for the new version. Will take some time, though.

Boris,

Thanks for your work.

Time is not the problem, it works right now. I just wonder if this is indeed a https/http issue or there is an unsolvable issue with the Fritzbox. If the later, it is time to look for a Raspberry.

hi harry,

perhaps this workaround can help you: https://forum.fhem.de/index.php/topic,26959.msg201256.html#msg201256

Hi Frank

Thanks for your answer. In https://forum.fhem.de/index.php/topic,52596.0.html Rudolf Koening pointed me to this solution in another thread. I just pulled the libs and placed them. With these libs it is indeed still possible to use https

Thanks to all people who helped to solve this issue.
