Guest shaywood Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I received an email from the USPS indicating that they are making changes to their APIs. Specifically they are adding Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)Implemented for Web Tool APIs, which required the URL accessing their website to be changed from http://production.shippingapis.com to https://secure.shippingapis.com for many of their APIs. Does this affect CubeCart USPS shipping Mod? If so, how do I make this change? Below is the email I recieved from USPS. SHawn Subject: THIRD NOTICE - Important - Action Required by September 30, 2006! June 26, 2006 Dear USPS Web Tools™ Customer, Subject: THIRD NOTICE - Important – Action Required by September 30, 2006! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)Implemented for Web Tool APIs 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. After September 30, 2006, the http:// instances of impacted APIs shall no longer be accessible. Please be advised the table below of APIs impacted, 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.

Please 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.
