Chris,
I looked further into the handler and how yahoo call "non-us" forecasts and you are
right that handler is having problems understanding the difference.
>From what I found, the URL Yahoo used for Reyjavik was
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/Reykjavik_IL_c.html
This has one less parameter than the US convention. So, what I need to do is
rewrite the beginning of the handler to allow for non us cities. I'm going to
spend some time on Yahoo look up the forecasts for various cities around the world
to make sure I have the correct format.
Thanks for pointing this oversight out. Also, it's cold is Reykjavik!!
