a client application that will connect to the National Weather Service web site using HTTP and XML and or SOAP and display current weather conditions. Your client process will connect to the server over a socket connection and request weather information for a certain location. This is a small change from lab 1, since the National Weather Service specifies the location using latitude and longitude instead of zip code. The user should be able to enter coordinates into the client program and get a current update for that location. This service is only updated hourly, so you should not request updates at short intervals as was done in lab 1. You should have a manual refresh button that will reconnect and retrieve the information again. Your display must somehow show the use of the SOAP and or XML being used in the retrieval process. Include four of the following variables in your display. (These are slightly different from lab 1.) Maximum Temperature, Minimum Temperature, Dewpoint Temperature, 12 Hour Probability of Precipitation, Cloud Cover Amount, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Weather Weather Icons, Wave Height.
