This is the recipe as far as it went. The user login is not required to access any of the pages, but if you logger all pages display the information as seen from your city.
Thanks for trying this one out. I've been missing this since AvantGo packed up and went out of business. One thing that better brains on Calibre might have input on is how to capture the "Session" variable after login and use it in the URL's. I'm thinking using an old value in the feed probably gives their server a complex.
Now, cleaning up what comes back is a bit daunting. If my results equal yours, all I'm getting is a text string of the table served back to Calibre and that's what's in the page for each feed.
I wanted this to work so bad I spent over an hour and didn't get very far.
