USPS E-mail notice
We received this e-mail notice today from USPS. Just wondering if there is anything that affects the USPS Zen Module
October 3, 2006
Dear USPS Web Tools Customer,
Subject: FOURTH NOTICE - Important – Action Required! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implemented for Web Tool APIs
This is the fourth notice sent regarding the SSL Implementation for Web Tools APIs. If you wish to continue using the APIs listed below, you must alter your code by January 31, 2007. You will be required to communicate via https://, instead of http://, for a total of 46 USPS Web Tools APIs. This change will also require you to change the Web Tools server called from production.shippingapis.com to secure.shippingapis.com.
After January 31, 2007, the http:// instances of impacted APIs shall no longer be accessible.
Please be advised the list of APIs impacted, as detailed in table below, are currently accessible under SSL and therefore you can begin calling these new instances immediately. Your User ID and the API names are the same.
The USPS has implemented such changes to secure your personally-identifiable information (PII) data transmitted over the Internet. Technical user guides available via: http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm have been updated and denote proper URL prefixes.

In summary, the implementation of SSL in Web Tools will require you to alter your code for aforementioned APIs to call URL:
-
<https://secure.shippingapis.com>, instead of <http://production.shippingapis.com>
Please note that the XML schema will not change as a result of this effort.
You are strongly encouraged to alter your software to accommodate these changes as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding as these changes are implemented. If you have any additional concerns or technical inquiries, please contact the USPS Internet Customer Care Center via email at [email protected] or phone at 1-800-344-7779.
Thank you,
Patti Mason
Manager, USPS.com
