Satellite Tracker not pulling in TLE from new Celestrak format

[lrowen]

Subject says it all. The Celestrak website changed the URL format. The page at https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/ now points to a more dynamic query type URL. Using the GPS operational satellites as an example, the URL is:

https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=gps-ops&FORMAT=tle

Seems to work for me using the commit tag you e-mailed.

In the log I see:

2023-03-31 08:40:34.034 (D) HttpDownloadManager: Downloading from QUrl("https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=gps-ops&FORMAT=tle") to "/home/jon/.local/share/f4exb/SDRangel/tle_gp.php"

What does it say in your log?

Hmm.... Not at the computer to check the log, unfortunately, but I do remember seeing a tle_gp.php file. If you have two of them (say https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=gps-ops&FORMAT=tle and https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=active&FORMAT=tle ) does the download code overwrite tle_gp.php or merge it? I was wondering why on the production ops PC I had the 'active' the first, then the gps-ops list second; the only satellites in the list are GPS. On my laptop I had the gps-ops first then the active, and it seems Celestrak has them named differently in the two downloads..... So perhaps a bug but not the bug I thought..... I'll check when I have time, today's a full schedule and it won't likely be today.

It's overwriting it, so I'll have to fix that.
