Weather forecast: darksky.net refused to connect

[Woody]

Most recent stable build: 4.10717, Aurora theme, zero changes.

I have a darksky dev Secret Key for the API. darksky.net shows that the key is stil valid and I am well under my 1,000 requests a day.

I have a number of weather "devices" which are darksky and they work and update fine and there are no errors in the log file relating to any of them.

However, approx 4 days ago, when I select the forecast page (that has been working fine until now) http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8081/#/Forecast I simply get a page that says darksky.net refused to connect.

This is browser and client machine agnostic - so it is not something that has changed locally, and if I go to the dedicated darksky web page directly - https://darksky.net/forecast/xx.xx,xx,xx/ukxx/en the forecast page loads fine for my correct location.

There is no weird AV involved and while I have PiHole, it is not blocking - so does anyone have any bright ideas?

Seems like a Darksky policy change.
The message I get (using the Edge browse on version V4.11665 (Synology test system ) )

All other Darksy stuf is working as before.

I think this is because Domoticz makes a call to the API over port 80 (HTTP) and not port 443 (HTTPS). When I curled:

curl http://api.darksky.net/forecast/api.key ... 4,-71.3329
{"code":400,"error":"this call requires HTTPS"}

Where do we change the API call from HTTP to HTTPS? It seems Darksky stopped answering HTTP requests.

Same issue here. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix?

Thanks - and really well spotted! I am hoping that @leecollings can tell us how to update the call to https.

*bump* we need a fix, or at least someone to point out the script object to modify to allow Domoticz to call this API over HTTPS... please help.

Maybe try posting in the "Bugs and Problems" part of the forum? Or on github.
