I am trying to use http get to get weather from worldweatheronline.
I used this profile as a template for figuring out how to do this.
http://tasker.wikidot.com/automatic-location-weather
The url I need to use is:
free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?q=
%zipcode&format=xml&num_of_days=5&key=%key
When I run the task the only thing that is displayed is %HTTPD.
Any help would be great.

What's in %HTTPR afterwards ? Try enabling Menu / Prefs / Misc / Popup
> %zipcode&format=xml&num_of_days=5&key=%key

Errors/Warnings also.

I am having similer problems with http get. My %HTTPD returns empty,
and %HTTPR contains the 400 error. I ran a wireshark capture, where I
saw tasker using a post rather then a get. If I use the same url in
the browser, it completes successfully, with get/post being the only
noticible difference in the capture.
My http get contains only 192.168.1.56:8080/remote/processKey?
key=poweroff in the Server:Port. It is a remote command for my directv
reciever box. Tasker is the market version 1.2

I was able to output the data into a file, but I can't seem to be able
to edit the %httpd. It still says that there is no data in %httpd.
I made a work around where I first outputed all the info to
weather.xml. From there I made a variable called %weather. Then I used
read paragraph and put the entire text into the variable. Later on
i'll use variable splitter to grab the data I need.
How was I supposed to use %httpd?
to edit the %httpd. It still says that there is no data in %httpd.

Then probably you have the content type set to non-text, so Tasker

thinks it can't store the data there. Think it's mentioned in the
action help.

No, that's not related. 400 means 'bad request'.

Thanks Pent, all I had to do was change Mime type to text/xml. Now
httpd is properly being populated.

with the full line in server:port, and split into the path. I did try
connecting to the OP's weather service, and successfully got data.

Seems like your 'using Post instead of Get' is the likely culprit,

also reported by someone else. Will take a look of course.
