USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

[HeleneWallis]

i saw something in this forum about the Unsecure HTTP Endpoint Retirement, and there being a patch for that. I can't find it now, but when I got the USPS notice, I just searched the files for all the places where http://production.shippingapis dot com was mentioned, and changed them to https. Is anything needed besides that? I have the 2017 version of the file, if that makes any difference.

From the updated module's _getQuote method:

        // Prepare to make quote-request to USPS servers
        switch (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_SERVER) {
            // -----
            // 20200924 Update: USPS will be phasing out the http:// (non-secure) URL.
            //
            // Secure APIs: https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll
            // Non-secure APIs: http://production.shippingapis.com
            //
            case 'production':
                $usps_server = 'https://secure.shippingapis.com';
                $api_dll = 'ShippingAPI.dll';
                break;
            case 'test':
            default:
    // 09-7-2014
    //Secure APIs: https://stg-secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingApi.dll
    //Non-secure APIs: http://stg-production.shippingapis.com/ShippingApi.dll
                $usps_server = 'https://stg-secure.shippingapis.com';
                $api_dll = 'ShippingApi.dll';
                break;
        }

Working on a "update" to 1.5.7c from a older version, and I can't get this module working properly.

All files in store are 1.5.7c, and a clean install of the USPS module was done.

Currently I am not getting any XML data returned...

This is happening on both the test and production servers.

The store files are in a test folder on the site currently so they are not "public", I am wondering if the directory of the store is making a difference? or if it could be something else?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

@mikestaps, that log implies that you haven't 'ticked' any of the checkboxes to identify which USPS shipping methods you want to use.

Thanks to @mikestaps for granting me access to his site. It 'looks like' the culprit is the site's CURL (v7.77.0) version. Updating the following line (in the quoteLogCurlResponse class method):

        $message .= 'CommErr (should be 0): ' . $this->commErrNo . ' - ' . $this->commError . ' - ' .  json_encode($this->commInfo) . "\n\n";

... indicated that the curl http-code returned was '400' (Bad Request). That's why there's no XML returned for the quotes. Not clear as to what CURL v7.77's issue(s) is/are, but it might be worth asking the webhost to downgrade the CURL version on the site.

I volunteer to help on a zen store and with this USPS plug in update I am not seeing how to do get the ground shipment only setting done. The ‘true’ code appears to be in the languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php area and not where I set it before in includes/modules/shipping/usps.php code. We want everything to ship ground but not necessarily HAZMAT. How might I do this with this new code? I am using 1.55f and so far not seeing a field setting to ‘1’. And there is no logs for some odd reason although I did set it that way. Store is now getting a warning to refresh page when I go to cart. No USPS estimater. Updating from K10 version 9-6-2017 and worked still.
Thanks,
