Does that tell you it's GoDaddy blocking the request, or would it be something I need to change in my files, I wonder?

Yes, that tells us without any doubt whatsoever that it is godaddy that is blocking the request. "error code 403' is a 'permission denied' error, and the error is clearly coming from the cURL proxy server (which means that all of your cURL settings are almost certainly correct.

I reckon that if you report this error message , exactly as given,
ERROR: Received error code 403 from proxy", to the 'helpful' person you spoke to before they won't have any other choice than to investigate further as to why they are giving you a permission denied.

BTW, the reason why you saw several of these same error messages is because out of necessity the AP module has to do seperate lookups for each of the available shipping methods, and each error line is a result of the same error; ie, permission denied.

I really have heard bad things about the 'helpfullness' of godaddy's support, so I wish you the best of luck. However, you now have *evidence* that the problem is theirs, and not something that you have messed up (the error message is produced by *their* server, not the ap module), so go get 'em
