Weather Plugin Error

I am getting the following error when the Weather plugin attempts to refresh information for my U.S. area code:

Code:

12/2/2005 5:45:53 PM.136    ERROR    [183]    Weather plugin error downloading weather for 55901
12/2/2005 5:45:53 PM.136    ERROR    [183]    URL was http://weather.msn.com/search.aspx?weasearchstr=55901

12/2/2005 5:45:53 PM.136    VERBOSE    [183]    Weather plugin done with download for 55901

When I load the URL into my browser, I am redirected to the URL http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealoc...c:USMN0632, which is for U.S. 55906 (still in the same city).
My plugin version is listed in my signature. The on-screen error I get is Sorry - Unable to retrieve information Is there an update I'm missing, or should I just update to 55906 to see if that works? Thanks!

OK - I just tried to retrieve the weather for U.S. zip 55906 per my previous post, and I'm still getting the same error. Any ideas? Thanks!

I've tried it with that zip and it works for me, but I am also running a newer version of the plugin I've made lots of small changes to the plugin and this could be something that was a bug and now is fixed I'm out of town now but will try to post an update sunday when I am back home.

I reverted back to v4 from v5 to test it - it still isn't working. I even changed to the "accid" number (USMN0632) to see if that worked - no luck. I browsed through to the msnbc.com site using the GBPVR computer itself, so there isn't an issue with connectivity or DNS lookups. The error hasn't changed, except for the changes to the ZIP code & "accid". Thanks for the reply; I'll check for the update next week.
