Auspost contribution fopen not allowed Aust

[geoffwin]

Thanks for any advice

 

I am trying to use the auspost contribution but this is proving difficult because my host will not enable fopen as they have no control over what the remote URL may present to them.

 

Is anyone using this contribution successfully ?

 

Did you have the fopen problem, how was it resolved ?

I would appreciate any feedback on this issue, the auspost module accesses a remote file at the Aus Post server to enable the calculation of the freight costs, this is then fed into the invoice / final shipped price.

 

My host will not enable the <fopen? command as this, as I understand can compromise the security of his server as the remote file might be a nasty executable of some sort.

 

Any thoughts at all ?

 

thanks

hi

 

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

I am having the same problem.

 

My host says I can use the include() method...I'll try to find if this can be used.
