USPS Change documented?

[joeyjgarcia]

I got this email a while back from the USPS website regarding my account with them.

 

Following is our information regarding the SSL Implementation for Web

Tools APIs. If you wish to continue using the APIs listed below, you

must alter your code by 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.

 

 

I tried to just change the URL and got this error.

 

fsockopen(): unable to connect to secure.shippingapis.com

 

 

I've request help for this before and someone told me that this topic is well documented but didn't provide me a URL, I searched for it and went through many page before giving up.

 

Can someone please tell me what it required to make this change?

 

thank you

Ignore the email - the list of API's affected does not include the one OSC uses.

Are you sure? Is anyone else ignoring it? Did anyone else get this to work?

Are you sure?

Yes.

 

I spoke with USPS a few months ago about this after a client of mine got the same email you did. They confirmed the rate calculator that the OSC USPS module uses is not on the list of affected API's. You can ignore the email.

Yes.

I too have called and verified that we need to do nothing. The API we use is to get quotes. It is not on the list.

 

We're all good. :)
