OpenWRT wget HTTP 400 error

[James Nichols]

I had problem that I fixed despite my minimal programming knowledge!

The wunderground wget was giving 400 errors. I found the cause was spaces not being converted to %20 with OpenWRT's wget, while Ubuntu 12.04 wget happily converts spaces automatically.

highlighted below, I added a search&replace for spaces to %20

# Upload data to Wunderground

ID=$1

PASSWORD=$2

WGET="http://weatherstation.wunderground.com/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php"

WGET="$WGET?action=updateraw&ID=$ID&PASSWORD=$PASSWORD&softwaretype=fowsr&"

while read line

do

  WGET2="$WGET`echo ${line// /%20}`"

  echo $WGET2

  wget -O /dev/null "$WGET2"

done < $WUGLOG

Does  your modification also work on ubuntu? If yes, I'll put it into the script.

I'm not sure.  I think it only depends on bash which seems to be fairly universal.

OpenWRT appears to use something similar but different called "-ash"?

I got the code from here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-script-replace-spaces-string/

My hope was that you could have tested it because I have no wunderground account.

Version 2.0.131005 should work without the modifikation of the script.
