USPS change

[Guest]

I got an email from UPS that they are changing the production server from

 

http://production.shippingapis.com

 

to

 

https://secure.shippingapis.com

 

I see in the USPS.php were I can change the

 

production.shippingapis.com

 

to

 

secure.shippingapis.com

 

But what about going from http ot https?

I just tried to change it but now get error on page and can't use usps now. :angry:

I haven't had a chance to really dive into it, but it looks like (a few lines lower) is a connection using the URL and port 80.

 

It may (and I stress *may*) work just to change the port 80 to port 443.

Well It did not produce any errors as it did when I left it at port 80 but it did not retrieve shipping prices either. I think your close.

Stupid usps! I may stop using them period!

hmm, if anyone sees a mod posted for this change, please post it here. USPS.php calls the http_client class in the /includes/classes/http_client.php directory. I would imagine there needs to be changes made to this file as well in order to process a https requests. Although what exactly needs to be changed is a little beyond my knowledge.

 

It sure would be nice to have a fix for this sooner rather then later. :unsure:

I emailed USPS and they told me that only the API's listed on the "Impacted API's" will be affected. Looking at the list, I don't see the API used for the rate calculators so if you are only using USPS API for getting rates, I don't think we have to worry about it. I'm not 100% sure though.

Yes, I got the same answer from USPS. You don't need to do anything if only use rate calculator. :)

Great news guys. Thanks for doing the leg work. It didn't occur to me to go to the source and ask.
