USPS Shipping module URLs - Where to enter them?

[ichthyous]

I have not been able to get the USPS shipping module to work and I was wondering if anyone has an advice. USPS sent me several URLS to the production server, but I am not sure where they should be entered. Here is the email they sent me:

[FONT=Times New Roman]Thank you for contacting us. Congratulations on completing your testing using the U.S. Postal Service's Internet Shipping Application Program Interfaces (APIs). [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Your profile has been updated to allow you access to the Production Server.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]1. The Production Server URL is: http://production.shippingapis.com. For APIs calling the secure server, the URL is https://secure.shippingapis.com.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2. There is a line of code that refers to "shippingapitest.dll". You'll need to remove the word "test".[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]If you are using third party software and need assistance, please contact the vendor of the software. They should be able to assist you in obtaining live information using our APIs. [/FONT]

You need a valid USPS shipping module ... look in the Security Patches and Updates for a link:

Make sure that you have called USPS and had them enable your account for the Production Server ...

NOTE: we are on v1.3.9c and you should really look at upgrading your shop to the current version as there are many bugs, security issues and lack of features in that ancient version that you are using ...

I followed the instructions for insalling the new 2010 USPS module and it just doesn'twork on my version 1.2.7. On line 16 when you include

class usps extends base {

you get a store error, when you change it to

class usps {

the error disappears but the module doesn;t work. Any ideas on how to get this module to work for older stores?

What is the exact error that you get ... I cannot reproduce any errors changing that line ...
