blueedge Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'm sure a number of you have received a recent email from USPS about changing access to online shipping information from an http connection to an https connection. "As of September 30, 2006, you will be required to communicate via , instead of , for a total of 46 USPS Web Tools APIs. This change will also require you to change the Web Tools server called from production.shippingapis.com to secure.shippingapis.com." I have found reference to production.shippingapis.com in the includes/modules/shipping/usps.php file. However, I cannot figure out how to change it to a secure connection. How do I change it to a https connection? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I was hoping someone else would save me the trouble of figuring this out. I know that, briefly, one replaces the various connect calls with CURL calls, and I have a working example from another module to compare against. It isn't just a matter of changing a string.

blueedge Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Has anyone else tried changing the reference to USPS shipping to an "https" URL? From what the USPS email states, the current method (http) of retrieving USPS shipping costs will not work after 9-30-06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Just changing the reference WILL NOT WORK.

Guest Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Just changing the reference WILL NOT WORK. Has there been a solution posted??? Sept 30th will be here in no time..... Any solutions would help. Ciao Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Another thread on this topic mentions that the rate calculator is not affected by these changes. Looking at the list it doesn't appear that it will affect us. -Chris Learning Directives - Educational Toys Has there been a solution posted??? Sept 30th will be here in no time.....

magicsenses Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 hi! I received the same e-mail about the https today. :( Is there something I need to change? Anything? Nothing at all? :( I have the USPS Methods contribution installed. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy James Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I haven't been able to find that thread but how can it not be effected? You are being sent to a totally different url to get the shipping costs. I wish I knew coding more because this needs to be solved somehow. Lots of people are going to have problems if it isn't. I have one client now having issues because his pricing is off and USPS said it was due to the changes and he would need to change the code for the module.

wppnewb Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Is someone working on this ?? PLEASE ADVISE ironwolf Fellow OSCers No reason to be concerned. I have verified with USPS that we do not need to change anything. i.e. this contrib is unaffected by this USPS server secure connection change. After several emails with [email protected], I was informed that this change will not affect the rate API that we all use in this contrib. I hope this clarifies the confusion. -Amit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
