It's nice to see it's patched for the immediate problem and will
probably eventually make it into the Precise updates.  What I did to see
what was happening was to use Wireshark.  It was getting a 301 response
(or was that 302?).  Wouldn't it be nicer if the plugin properly
followed redirects such as this?  I was looking in weather-http.c, but I
wasn't too sure about the BEST place to parse the response code and the
Location: header.  I also wasn't too sure of how to handle a 301, such
as changing the appearance somehow, because it could go from working, to
301, to 404, and developers wouldn't otherwise see it until it totally
breaks at the 404 stage (or in this case, at some other time if xoap is
removed from DNS).
