As a follow-up to the METAR issue: there actually is a workaround for
FG 1.9.x and 2.0 - by using a proxy server. The requests sent by FG to
a configured proxy server are fine. And the actual HTTP request for
the weather server is then generated by the proxy - which, of course,
also works. So this revives METAR for older FG versions.
Only takes a valid proxy server given to the fgfs command-line. More
details in the forum:
