I'm having trouble capturing location data

I am using a corporate internet connection. I am working under a domain. We use SSL security certificate. I cannot receive weather data because I am receiving an SSL certificate warning and this prevents me from receiving data. I would appreciate it if you could make an arrangement to pull location and weather data.

I'm not big on networks and SSL certificates, but I don't think it's up to us to solve this problem. @andreldm can you confirm this?

I'm also not really a network expert (far from it, actually), but I have the impression that if this plugin can't fetch data from https://api.met.no or https://secure.geonames.org then other components or apps will also have problems, for example, can you use screenshooter to upload to imgur?

Maybe you need to use a proxy, or have those domains/certificates in an allow-list, I don't really see what we can do from our side.

added 3. Need Info label

I think a solution can be found with alternative protocols or alternative addresses to capture weather and location data.

And what do you suggest besides https? plain http? Which alternative addresses? This sounds too much hassle to work around an edge case :/

I think plain http might be the solution. So the security certificate may not cause any problems. Can you give me a solution to test this? Xfce-weather-plugin test suite or a few configurations or something.

The plugin seems to honor HTTP_PROXY, can't you use that? Otherwise you'll need to clone the repo, search the code, make the changes and ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install to test :)

The api.met.no service does not support unencrypted HTTP (you get redirected to HTTPS) due to mandatory security requirements in the Norwegian public sector.

I couldn't get any results, I still can't see location information and weather forecast. Or I couldn't fully implement the solution. Is there a file where I can make changes to the installed plugin?

I don't think so, but you might have better luck asking the question on the forums: https://forum.xfce.org/index.php
