[Weather] [personal] Re: Weather Underground RapidFire

Source is at :
http://71.193.143.248:28898/rapidfire4wserversource.zip
The URL and posting format can be gleaned from there.
Also, I discovered that I had left the upload interval hardcoded in the URL 
post string in the jar file at 5 seconds. I have corrected that and the zip 
is updated.
