I got the same email this morning. I am in the process of updating to 1.5.3 (from 1.5.1), is this update going to fix this UPS issue? Or are we going to need to take a closer look at the UPS module itself?

Starting with Zen Cart v1.5.0 (I think), the USPS and UPS shipping modules are no longer part of the core Zen Cart distribution; they're downloadable from the Plugins. That said, you'll need to be looking at the UPS shipping module itself for a solution.

Ok so I am looking at the \includes\modules\shipping\ups.php file.
I think that this is what needs to change:
apx line 405 to 415

if ($http->Connect('www.ups.com', 80)) {
      $http->addHeader('Host', 'www.ups.com');
      $http->addHeader('User-Agent', 'Zen Cart');
      $http->addHeader('Connection', 'Close');

      if ($http->Get('/using/services/rave/qcostcgi.cgi?' . $request)) $body = $http->getBody();

      $http->Disconnect();
    } else {
      return 'error';
    } 

Looking at the UPS API Web Services Guide www.ups.com needs to be changed to http://onlinetools.ups.com/webservices/Rate

would this be the correct change?

if ($http->Connect('http://onlinetools.ups.com', 80)) {
      $http->addHeader('Host', 'http://onlinetools.ups.com');
      $http->addHeader('User-Agent', 'Zen Cart');
      $http->addHeader('Connection', 'Close');

      if ($http->Get('/webservices/Rate' . $request)) $body = $http->getBody();

      $http->Disconnect();
    } else {
      return 'error';
    }

Also I checked into the UPS XML module, it looks like this one has already been updated to properly connect. It may be easier to just switch over to that.
