DM, I was hoping you might be able to help point me in the right direction on
th
is. tbirdsradio had a chance to try out the new version from GitHub that used
th
is bit of code (but had no luck):
var dialup = (parseInt(user.connection) > 0);
function getQuerySuffix() {
var qs;
if (dialup === 'true')
{
if (fallback_type == 'nonip') {
qs = fallback + '.json';
} else {
qs = 'autoip.json?geo_ip=' + resolve_ip(system.inet_addr);
}
} else if (user.ip_address.search(
/(^127\.)|(^192\.168\.)|(^10\.)|(^172\.1[6-9]\.)|(^172\.2[0-9]\.)|(^172\.3[0-1]
\
.)|(^169\.254\.)|(^::1$)|(^[fF][cCdD])/
) > -1
) {
if (fallback_type == 'nonip') {
qs = fallback + '.json';
} else {
if (client.protocol === 'Telnet') {
qs = wstsGetIPAddress();
} else if (bbs.sys_status&SS_RLOGIN) {
qs = wsrsGetIPAddress();
}
if (typeof qs === 'undefined') qs = resolve_ip(system.inet_addr);
qs = 'autoip.json?geo_ip=' + qs;
}
} else {
qs = 'autoip.json?geo_ip=' + user.ip_address;
}
return qs;
}
var wungrndQuery = getQuerySuffix();
**********
However, tbird is still seeing an error when the app is launched at Logon and
al
so as a Door/External for his dial-up user.
DEBUG for weather.js API call looked like this at the time of error:
http://api.wunderground.com/api/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/conditions/forecast/astronomy/
a
lerts/q/autoip.json?geo_ip=812XXXXXXX
(Blocked out API and last 7 of phone number).
Any thoughts as to why I am missing catching this scenario? It's got me boggled
a
nd I can't really see it.
Thanks for any help you can lend (and sorry for the long post).
