Raw html instad of wttrin

[hummuscience]

I setup wttrin as follows:

(use-package wttrin
  :init
  (setq wttrin-default-cities          '("Heidelberg" "Tel-Aviv")
        wttrin-default-accept-language '("Accept-Language" . "en-US")))

I am using GNU Emacs 26.3

When I run wttrin and pick the city, I get a raw html file instead of a rendered page https://pastebin.com/aTcvQvj3

I am sure I am missing something essential here. Thanks in advance!

soloved url-request-extra-headers '(("User-Agent" . "curl")))) cannot override url-user-agent , change to the following code

(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query)
  "Get the weather information based on your QUERY."
  (let ((url-user-agent "curl"))

This does not fix it for me.

(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query)
  "Get the weather information based on your QUERY."
  (let ((url-request-extra-headers '(("User-Agent" . "curl"))))

change to

(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query)
  "Get the weather information based on your QUERY."	
 (let ((url-user-agent "curl"))

then byte-compile the .el file

This worked for me.
Step by step clarification, in case someone else like me finds this:

1. Go to the directory where your packages are kept (mine are under ~/.emacs.d/elpa/wttrin*
2. Edit the wttrin.el as emacle wrote above, replacing the line (let ((url-request-extra-headers...) with the (let ((url-user agent...) statement.
3. move or delete the file that ends in .elc
4. If you're using use-package for your config, just relaunch emacs. There are probably other ways, but was the easiest for me. It will recreate the .elc file that you moved/deleted using the newly modified .el file.

Thank you for the fix emacle!

I was experiencing the html display problem as well (GNU Emacs 26.3) but the above suggestions did not fix the problem. However, making the above changes and adding a flag to the wttrin url call specifying text format did the trick for me. Here are the changes to wttrin.el that worked for me.
Change:
(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query) "Get the weather information based on your QUERY." (let ((url-request-extra-headers '(("User-Agent" . "curl"))))
To:
(defun wttrin-fetch-raw-string (query) "Get the weather information based on your QUERY." (let ((url-user-agent "curl"))
Change:
(concat "http://wttr.in/" query)
To:
(concat "http://wttr.in/" query "?A")

I too have GNU emacs 26.3. It is on Mac OS 10.15.

I followed @brannala's recommendation and it worked!

Try this one, it worked for me.

;; fix wttrin buffer render issue
(advice-remove 'wttrin-query 'render-wttrin-buffer)
(defun render-wttrin-buffer (ignore-args)
"Render the wtrrin buffer."
(read-only-mode -1)
(shr-render-region (point-min) (point-max))
(delete-trailing-whitespace)
(read-only-mode t))
(advice-add 'wttrin-query :after 'render-wttrin-buffer)

@beacoder
I tried your advice but for some reason there were no colours shown. Then I used brannala's guide and it worked with colours.

I basicaly used emacs in terminal mode, so failed to see the color.
anyway, good to hear that other guy's solution worked.

Using emacs 27.1 on Mac
@brannala's recommendation worked.
THANKS!

I've created a pull request with @brannala 's change: #20

Hopefully one day it can be merged :) and in the meanwhile feel free to use that branch.

Try to customize a bit:
M-x, customize-variable, url-user-agent
write there: curl
Press the button Apply and Save

Or add '(url-user-agent "curl") to your customization file.
Or try to modify your code like this:

(use-package wttrin
  :custom
  (wttrin-default-cities          '("Heidelberg" "Tel-Aviv"))
  (wttrin-default-accept-language '("Accept-Language" . "en-US")
  (url-user-agent                 "curl")))
