   <description>Hi,



The Weather.com block was working fine on my Horde Portal until a couple of months.

Now Horde portal says: &quot;The weather.com block is not available.&quot;



I have the latest version of pear modules (Services_Weather v1.4.3) with all php extension needed (ctype and pcre)

http://pear.php.net/package/Services_Weather/download/



As far as I understood this version of Services_Weather has been fixed to fetch correctly the xml feed from weather.com:

Changelog:

- Weatherdotcom.php

o Changed available forecast days to 5 as per change in the xoap offering (boigelot)

o Fixed Bug #13845: Weather.com service requires link request in all xoap requests (mscannel)



And I&#039;m able to fetch it as well with my partnerid and Key: 

http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/48164?link=xoap&amp;prod=xoap&amp;par=[removed]&amp;key=[removed]



Is it possible to fix this block ?</description>

You got it ! That was the missing parameter. I had updated PHP and this parameter is now set to Off by default (as it can be a potential security issue). I will turn it to on...

On the other hand, I&#039;ve heard that it is safer to use curl, my PHP setup is build with curl do you think that this weather block can use it ?</description>

Well, I&#039;m sure it&#039;s *possible* that you could use curl, but the code would need to be rewritten - and I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s Services_Weather or our block code that requires it.</description>
