<h1> Retrieving a Y! Weather RSS Feed</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This example demonstrates how to use the Connection Manager and a PHP proxy -- to work around XMLHttpRequest's same-domain policy — to retrieve an XML document from http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Source file and dependencies</h3>
|
|
<p>Load the YAHOO namespace and connection manager source file</p>

<h3>Callback Object and the Weather RSS</h3>
|
|
<p>Yahoo! Weather RSS will return an XML document if the transaction is successful. The following callback object with success and failure handlers is used to process the response.</p>
|
|
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">

// This is the response display container
|

|
|
* simple HTML module comprised of data from the following tags:
|

*
|
|
* Data in the first <title> tag in the document.
|
|
* Data in the first <lastBuildDate> tag in the document.
|
|
* HTML from the second <description> tag in the document.

<h3>Assemble the Querystring and Initiate the Transaction</h3>
|
|
<p>The Yahoo! Weather RSS feed requires a simple HTTP GET request, with a base URL and a parameters querystring. In this example, we will use the following parameters:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>p - location as U.S. Zip Code or Location ID</li>
|
|
<li>u - temperature units</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following are some example location IDs (do not include the city name):</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Beijing: <em>CHXX0008</em></li>
|
|
<li>Helsinki: <em>FIXX0002</em></li>
|
|
<li>London: <em>UKXX0085</em></li>
|
|
<li>Moscow: <em>RSXX0063</em></li>
|
|
<li>Munich: <em>GMXX0087</em></li>
|
|
<li>Paris: <em>FRXX0076</em></li>
|
|
<li>Riyadh: <em>SAXX0017</em></li>
|
|
<li>Tokyo: <em>JAXX0085</em></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For more details on the Y! Weather RSS feed and other location IDs, please visit <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/index.html">http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/index.html</a>.
|
|
<p>Function getModule retrieves the input values for location and temperature and creates a querystring.</p>
|
|
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
|
|
function getModule(){
|
|
|
|
// retrieve the field values for the zip code
|
|
// input and the unit input.
|
|
var sLocation = oForm.elements['zip'].value;
|
|
var sUnit = oForm.elements['unit'].value;
|
|
|
|
// entryPoint is the base URL
|
|
var entryPoint = 'php/weather.php';
|
|
|
|
// queryString is the key-value pairs of zip and unit.
|
|
var queryString = encodeURI('?p=' + sLocation + '&' + 'u=' + sUnit);
|
|
var sUrl = entryPoint + queryString;
|
|
|
|
// Initiate the HTTP GET request.
|
|
var request = YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', sUrl, { success:successHandler, failure:failureHandler });
|
|
}
|
|
</textarea>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Proxy and Response</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once weather.php receives the querystring, it will construct and send an HTTP GET using CURL to retrieve the results from the Yahoo! Weather RSS feed. This allows the transaction to succeed while working around XMLHttpRequest's security policy.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
