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.
