flying_kites Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Hi I am repeating here an annoucement from USPS. I am not sure about its full impact and hopefully discussion here will work out what we all have to do: Dear USPS Web Tools Customer, Subject: Important ? Action Required! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implemented for Web Tool APIs As of September 30, 2006, you will be required to communicate via https://, instead of http://, 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. After September 30, 2006, the http:// instances of impacted APIs shall no longer be accessible. Please be advised the list of APIs impacted, as detailed in table below, are currently accessible under SSL and therefore you can begin calling these new instances immediately. Your User ID and the API names are the same. The USPS has implemented such changes to secure your personally-identifiable information (PII) data transmitted over the Internet. Technical user guides available via: http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm have been updated and denote proper URL prefixes.

You are strongly encouraged to alter your software to accommodate these changes as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding as these changes are implemented. If you have any additional concerns or technical inquiries, please contact the USPS Internet Customer Care Center via email at [email protected] or phone at 1-800-344-7779.

flying_kites Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 So we just have to call the https instead of http? nothing else?
shibat Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 As discussed on other threads, this change will not affect those who are just using USPS API to pull rates.
