Whenever I have problems, I assume the first cause is me. However, I'm simply asking if anyone else has had problems the last few days with the NWS Forecasts. I am mainly getting:
CLIENT ERROR
HTTP Error: Unsupported HTTP response status 504 Gateway Time-out (
Essential data like temperature is mssing - program stops
The basic url I have been using for the last several months is:
https://graphical.weather.gov/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLclient.php...location and other details
Perhaps the NWS has not only changed to security but also the domain? Or, as is usually the case, I've just screwed up something...
Gotta mow the back yard, just got a new mower! I'll research the "Gateway" time-out meaning if it's actually not what it appears to literally mean.

I think, with my minimal "knowledge" that this is saying the problem is with the "SOAP server". I think the "***" means there are three 'timeouts' or delays before the last server (deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com) responds.
Is there a place/site that reports NWS server status? Direct Forecast access seems fine.
