freegeoip.net is shut down #566

Bug Report

Context

I'm trying to get the Google Maps widget to work (currently shows blank window, separate issue). While stepping through the code, I tried the freegeoip.net/json/ endpoint, and got a message saying that the service has been shut down.

Any error messages produced by appJar

2019-01-30 16:04:10,984 appJar:ERROR [Line 10->14564/setCurrentLocation]: Unable to contact location server, using default: Marlborough, UK

What steps are needed to reproduce the bug

At the command line:

curl -L freegeoip.net/json/

(-L to follow redirect to freegeoip.net/shutdown) Will return the following response:

Swapping out freegeoip.net for ipinfo.io by toggling the comments here and here works fine as a workaround.

Yeah, looks like my lovely GoogleMaps widget has some issues - both providers are not working!

I'll make the changes you suggest, when I add in support for API keys.
