TNET Weather WXBots and others
TNET Weather uses several methods to obtain data from other sites to then manipulate and use on its own site. ALL data obtained is either from public sources or from sites which have granted permission to TNET Weather, WX-Host or TNET Services to access.
Most of the new collection methods, now identify themselves by the UserAgent setting that they are coming from us.
Examples:
ulterius.tnet.com - - [15/May/2012:11:04:33 -0700] "GET /clientraw.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 688 "-" "TNET_WXbot/1.0 (+http://TNETWeather.com/tws-bots.php)"
