Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a weather app using Google's Weather API to supply the information. The weather information is stored in an XML file, but I can't actually open it yet.

I've tried:

document = New XmlDocument()
document.Load("http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=London,England,UK")

Which results in 'Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.'

I'm not sure what's happening? I tried to use a While True infinite loop to block the rest of the code after trying to dump the value of the file (which is above) and even trying to open the URL in Notepad++ I get 'Unsupported API'.

Have tried looking at the url in a web browser?

And you'll see if view source.

Unsupported API

Hey, I'm on my iPad at the moment so I can't do much, but in Chrome on my desktop the XML file is dumped and the content is, 'proper', there's no 'unsupported API' message. I was presuming that because the XML file was displayed, opening it via URL would be fine - obviously not. I'll post a picture of what it looks like when I'm next on my desktop.

Intriguing...

The attached image is what the URL looks like to me in Chrome:



I literally clicked in the link I put in my first post, and this is what I get, so there's definitely some content there.
