Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2016-08-28 15:15:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

    FlightGear now uses incorrect URLs for fetching METAR data,
    and does not follow the 302 redirect to the actual URL.

    This affects both the in-simulator realtime weather data fetching
    and the command line utility /usr/bin/metar.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

    FlightGear-2016.1.2-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:

    100%

Steps to Reproduce:

    Run "metar KSFO" or "metar EDDF" or "metar EHAM" or similar.

Actual results:

    metar download failed: http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/KSFO.TXT (404 Not Found)
    ERROR: metar download failed

Expected results:

    printout of METAR data
