HTTP 1.1 Support

Question

Around 12:10 on 5/10/2013 for some reason wunderground was no longer charting the weather data I had been uploading for almost a year using wu2300 1.10 running on a RaspberryPi connected to a Lacrosse WS-2355.

After some debugging with tcpdump I was seeing a 502 Bad Gateway error returned by wunderground.

Further debugging by sending the GET URL with wget (as HTTP 1.1) suggested that perhaps wunderground was no longer happy with the HTTP 1.0 GET sent by wu2300.c/linux2300.c. If I sent the URL with wget (as a HTTP 1.1 GET) the data was uploaded and charted ok.

I updated my local copy of the source code to send HTTP 1.1 GET with Host: instead and this seems to work now. If others are having the same issue perhaps an official update could be made to use HTTP 1.1?

Environment

Open2300 version:	1.10
Libraries:	mysql
Server OS:	Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #474
