As Ian points out, the https: version of the URL might be causing you
problems. I have this problem from work, where I'm behind the firewall
and the proxy does not seem to be able or willing to forward the
request - it works fine from home. But I would caution everybody that
Google seems to be changing the data they return on a daily basis
nowadays and google-weather cannot keep up. It might be a good idea to
wait a few days for the volatility to die down. See the related thread
"Icon problem with org-google-weather" for a blow-by-blow description
of the fight.
BTW, you can ask google-weather to use the http: protocol by
(setq google-weather-use-https nil)
Nick
PS Here's a debugging function I wrote to bypass google-weather
altogether and check what Google was sending me. This in combination
with visiting the URLs in a browser, as Ian points out, should be
enough to get you through http/https/SSL/proxy problems:
(defun my-url-retrieve (url)
(with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously url)
(buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max))))
Try
(my-url-retrieve "http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Amsterdam")
and/or the https version of it.
