Changing the source code is mostly done, except that switching between languages doesn't work yet. The more time-consuming task is transforming all translations to the new format. I first made a catkeys file that translates to the old placeholder constants and built a little Javascript that replaces them with the proper translations. That's a lot faster than reworking all translations by hand. The strings in the catkeys format aren't even sorted in any reasonable way, so it's a never ending scroll up and down and read twice in the old file. Here's the script that does all the hard work for me: paste.bka.li/Q+LBkb.js Show more

That marks a first big milestone, as the application can be considered rather stable and usable by now, but of course there's still room for improvements and yes, I will further improve it as my time allows.

And today I found out that HTTP(S) proxies weren't broken at all, it's just difficult to find servers that allow requests with the CONNECT method. For that reason, I improved error handling so that anything that isn't code 200 is seen as failure, not just the most common errors 503 and 504. Show more

It works!There's still much to do before the application is fully functional again,but it can now show a complete weather forecast as it should.
