New Australia Post Shipping Module?

[RodG]

I just stumbled across this new 'Australia Post Shipping Module':

Is this legit?

I installed it, configured it, but when I tried to test it, it disappeared!
I tried to install it again, but it won't come up?

Strangely enough, it looks like this module was only uploaded a few days ago, and downloaded only once...

This is a re-release of the very old AustPost module (V2.1.3) by yours truely. No, I wasn't the one that uploaded it, I don't know what (if any) changes were made between this version and my original.

An *unmodified* copy *should* work for regular parcels, but it will be unable to return quotes for any of the 'fixed price' methods (letters & satchels, insurance, etc).

I am not in a position to offer any support or give any suggestions as to why "it disappeared" on you (or any other issues with it for that matter).

If it works, great...... (I knew someone would get around to doing this eventually), but I would suggest that it may be prudent to look for an even OLDER version (or for someone to take care of a 'nasty' issue with this version, that won't be an issue with the older versions).

The 'issue' being that as it stands, the module is sending out invalid requests to the drc server (to obtain the unsupported fixed costs). These requests could be interpreted as a hack attack, and experience has taught me that continued and ongoing invalid requests to that server is prone to getting blocked.

The 'devil' in me says I shouldn't reveal this, and simply wait until peoples stores suddenly stop working as a result, but I'm really not that mean/nasty.

Anyway, a 'suitable' version without having to modify (and no less functional) will be any version pre V2.0.1 Or any version of 'auspost', which can be downloaded from:
