This is normally an automatic task done regularly through the windows scheduler.
This is used for fetching DMU’s weather information from a server at Vitec.
The application at the customer site is always the initiator of the communication. The server at Vitec replies to the requests by returning data. The communication is done through http 1.1 requests through TCP port 80, i.e. regular web-traffic. When setting up this communication, beware of proxies converting http 1.1 traffic to 1.0 traffic, this requires special handling.
To use this web-service at Vitec you need to have a user account and password. The web service is reached at http://weatherws.energy.vitec.se . The weather data sent is not encrypted.
The software doing this communication is written using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET Framework. The current version used is 2.0.
