Ambientweather network drops support for HTTPS SSL uploads and now enforces TLS -> needs Meteobridge 4.1 or newer
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2020 11:45 pm
Some Meteobridge users of the ambientweather network reported problems to feed data to there since April 1, 2020. Reason behind this is that ambient decided to have their server no longer supporting SSL HTTPS connections, only TLS. Meteobridges before version 4.1 do not support HTTPS uploads via TLS so these Meteobridge versions cannot upload to ambientweather network anymore.
Ambient points to security reasons for doing so (https://help.ambientweather.net/help/we ... il-1-2020/), which is a valid argument when it comes to web pages and user interfaces in general. Meteobridge directs the ambientweather data upload to a distinct URL endpoint. Unfortunately, the TLS enforcement seems to cover the whole domain, so that the data upload endpoint is also impacted.
When you are running version 4.1 or newer on your Meteobridge you should be fine as TLS 1 support is included since version 4.1. If you are on an older version you will need to update to a newer version.
