Alexander,

Your construct is correct and the data _is_ returned as shown in
your file, "flightplanning.html". Thank you very much indeed for
taking the time to help me.

You correctly identified the need for the 'location=' phrase. Also, I
do not require the button related phrase, 'get-metar-taf=Get the
bulletins'. Apparently you determined this by using 'LiveHeaders'.
I am not familiar with 'LiveHeaders'. I must read up on that.

Thank you,
Robert
