Any newer UPSXML than 2005?

Yes, this is my first post here....but I have been looking for more recent info, just can't find it. I'm sure it exists, so please post a link to more current data if it's out there.

The contribution I am referring to is here: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/3rd_party_contributions_-_Shipping_Modules_-_UPS_XML

My problem - The UPS module that is stock with the ZC does not give me enough control / info. I am having problems getting the UPSXML contribution (last updated 2005 as far as I can tell) working properly. First on my dev machine, which is xamp on win xp, I could not get the xml to login correctly to the ups servers (or so it would appear). The logging/debugging is not really helpful on this (probably b/c it's a win box), so I am now trying to get it running on the future live server (idchost / a linux or unix server for native php services, etc). I'm having some newbie issues getting the store set up, but mostly I don't want to spend so much time on this to find out that there is a newer, more stable ups xml solution.

To answer some anticipated questions, yes I have my UPS developers key, I have my XML Access key, etc, and I have confirmed that my access key is "bolted" to basically all of the xml / html services (including negotiated rates). I have browsed the UPS documentation for XML rates & services, time in transit, etc...
I have to admit, I am totally new to xml though, and I think there is a simple fix...but again, I hoping to find a newer (perhaps more compliant) version of the UPS xml contribution.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Ken,

Just as a follow-up to this post, I'm adding a link to your other discussion post which reveals that the problem was due to CURL support not working on your local webserver setup.

CURL can be added to a test server's php/apache configuration by installing the appropriate DLLs as documented on the CURL website: http://curl.haxx.se/
Unique configuration steps for your own webserver setup will vary. In the case of xamp, i believe there is information on the xamp website also.

Most commercial/hosted webservers already have CURL support activated ... which explains why you are able to use the module fine on the live site.

Thanks DrByte,

I'm not sure it was the curl, ( it was turned on on my home box, set in apache I think...) but none the less, I'm glad it's working now.

I'm just now getting my feet wet with XML, but so far, I like it. We'll see how it goes implementing the shipping services from UPS (to print labels in batch form from admin console) Wish me luck :)
