Package does not work on windows #13

could not start process `which curl`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

I'm out for 6 weeks with a broken collarbone but I'd like to read up on Requests.jl. I wouldn't suspect that curl would work on windows and quite frankly the whole package needs a rewrite, including giving users the option of DataFrame or TimeArray data structures. If you find the time I'm more than happy to give you commit access.

There is also a GSoC project related to standardizing how we deal with data sets, the results of which I'd be very interested to see.

Ouch! Take care.

I'll see if I can rustle up a PR for some of this.

Great! Yeah, I got my tri bike on the road to start training for the season. Busy intersection + small shoulder + big ditch = learning the hard way

This package no longer downloads a file to parse but instead uses Requests.get(). Can you try this with the v 0.2.0. It should work.
