Description

Works with the changes introduced on December 30 (yesterday), which were announced literally the day before I left on an overseas trip for two weeks. Obviously, I didn't see the blog post before I left. I wrote this patch on a motorcoach in the middle of the desert. (Surprisingly, I was able to validate the fix and push the changes using the bus's Wi-Fi.)

Resolves #1796

Checklist

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
  • I can and do license this contribution under the EFLv2
  • No issues are reported by make qa (runs make quality and make test)
    • Note: Tested the changed file manually, to avoid running the full online test suite on a motorcoach's very slow network. make quality is fine; Travis can report any issues in things I didn't touch when it's finished.
  • I have tested the functionality of the things this change touches

See the blog post from MaxMind for further details on why we have to
make these silly changes (spoiler: it's because California sucks):
