Hi All,

I am trying to access the USPS site to get information and seem to have hit a roadblock. Here is the code to try a canned lookup per their documentation and I don't know what to think of the error message.

My Code:

Got back:<br>
[USPS_Return]

What they return:

HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:40:35 GMT Content-Type: text/html

NOT IMPLEMENTED

The server is unable to perform the method API=Verify at this time.

----------------------------------------------------
I have no idea what this is trying to tell me and when I emailed tech support at USPS they sent me back a form email that said they didn't provide programming help. 

Anyone else try this yet and get it to work?  I am not a pro at TCPConnect so don't know what to try next.

Thanks,
