Re: [Haskell-cafe] HXT/Practical/Weather.hs difficulties
Oh my, how silly of me. The page has moved to
http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KAGC.xml ! Firefox simply
follows the redirect.
Thanks for the putStrLn suggestion, George.

Woops. Would someone be so kind as to explain why this is failing? I'm at rather a loss.
The HXT parser is stopping because it's expecting XML not HTML, which is what you're receiving for some reason.
I just loaded up the weather URL in Firefox [http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KAGC.xml] and it is XML... Is it possible that you are behind a proxy that is blocking the page? (I can't run the code at the moment; cleaning out Haskell packages to upgrade to 6.10.)
You could try printing out the contents of the page as well (putStrLn doc) so you can see the rest of the HTML that `weather` is receiving.
