Canada Post module

[RodG]

Received this from Canada Post, not sure if it means that we should change the "Enter CanadaPost Server" in the module to: 198.33.104.28.

No.
Using an IP address instead of a hostname should only ever be considered in very limited situations - such as the few hours after an IP address has been changed and the time it takes to propagate through the DNS. In other words, almost never.
It is far better to leave alone until things start to correctly resolve again.

Thanks Cryptocoins. I`m back in business.
The checkout pages that deal with shipping are now really slow to load, but I gather Canada Post in continuing to work on issues.

Cheers,
Max

I'm sure Cryptocoins has good intentions, but I'm reluctant to use just anybody's code for security reasons.

I'm not sure how it differs from the original, but the code in post#284 looks quite safe.

Canada Post:
"We are working on a known issue for customers using TCP instead of HTTP protocol. We will let you know as soon as we have a solution for this issue."

The code I wrote connects to Canada Post using the HTTP protocol. The old code with fsockopen uses TCP. It sounds like Canada Post is working on a solution if you can wait for them.

Hello Cryptocoins,

Thank you!

Fix works well.

Have a wonderful year!

I received and ignored same email from Canada Post. I tested the hack from cyptocoins and it worked. Also had orders go through with no problem since.

Ok, I'm not good at all with code so I tend to be on the cautious side. Was the fix for just the latest version of zen cart? I really have to update my cart, I'm still using v1.3.9h. I guess I could just back up the file and try the fix.

I could not seem to get it to work. Apparently, I did not edit the code correctly. The posting says where to start but not where to start. I don't know how to code. Can you tell me how much code to replace.
