Maybe it's a local proxy cache issue. What you could do temporarily is try to access via one of the redirect services - often used for anonymous access. I tried http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html and that worked albeit with a floating ad window - there's hundreds of these sevices around...choose your favourite / local one
I also VPN'd into a Chicago based node and tried from there and I can access that protocol page - but that doesn't really prove anything much as your route could be different.
You could run a traceroute if you can be bothered.
In the MW xapautomation dot org goes to 85.13.235.186 via Comcast ISP. What's your host to IP resolution there Kevin?
Tracert shows it timing out at the second hop here in Romeroville IL 68.86.118.225.
Expected cuz there are and always have been DNS issues locally having to switch when they hiccup in the middle of the day for odd reasons.
But doing a trace route to dub dub dub automatedhome dot com dot times out after luigi, mario, aimless and hex; but I'm writing this entry on the forum.
I do go through my own proxy here and have had some historical buffer issues with the local weather et al.
OK so I modded my smoothie with a DNS overide script. Just for the heck of it. Using Google dns servers. Let's see if that works. Nope.
Smoothie also gives me the option to utilize an external web proxy service; just never thought I needed it.
I've had to utilize my Verizon ISP connection when I couldn't utilize my Comcast. Not an issue. Just odd.

Pete - I have checked with our hosting company and there are no blocks on your IP address (assuming it's the same one you used to post the above) and they haven't updated any firewall filters recently. Unsurprisingly there are no accesses from your IP either. Those timeouts are the problem and appear local to you. I haven't had any other reports.
I can't explain the timeouts with traceroute to this forum and yet you still have access, but I'm sure someone else more network savvy could.
Well too another thing is that I hate sticky macs so have another script that I kind of automate somewhat; but really don't think that would have anything to do with it either.
Let me try from the Verizon ISP in a little bit.
Not an issue Kevin. So has the xAP wiki been updated? I want to take advantage of all of the xAP devices floating about on my network (and xPL stuff).

The weather.data schema that KevinT is introducing is not yet on the Wiki - see the above post by KevinT. I'm assuming he's liaising with James re sorting the account access on the Wiki.
WiKi updates are very sporadic but I have been making some (long) posts on the other xAP forums over the last few weeks... and working on getting out a new application for Apple iOS. More news soon.
I am going to forward draft weather schema to Steve at Cumulus such that he can see what is happening.

with some minor edits from the post above for clarity
I have attached a couple of example messages which I have been using for testing. To use these open any xAP message in xFx Viewer, select all the existing message, then paste one of these messages in and send
Solar Radiation would be useful for triggering awnings and blinds to close before the sun will hit a window. xAP is already useful for saving the awnings from strong winds. I use Davis Vantage Pro connected to Weatherdisplay that then sends the weather info via xAP to HomeSeer.
It would be great if Solar Radiation and UV Index could be added to the Schema and then later to Weatherdisplay.
Yup here using UV Index and Solar Radiation numbers to calculate ET (Evaportranspiration) for my sprinkling system (application).
Here lately being a bit redundant taking the numbers from xAP and a text file generated by Cumulus then FTP'd to my internet web site / weather pages.
( so using internal data and external data plus the hardware weather stations (have two set up right now) and using Homeseer.)
