We recently had to upgrade to the latest eCommerce template to get around new UPS methods. When trying to register with UPS, I get the following error:

UPS Developer Kit Licensing & Registration Wizard - Step 1

I'm sorry, there was an error

Error, couldn't connect to UPS server
403: (Forbidden)

Any ideas?

Hi Derek

I would pass the error on to your host and ask them if the connection to UPS is being blocked, possibly by a Firewall setting.

Please feel free to review / rate our software

Andy,

My host (GoDaddy) says they are not blocking a connection to UPS, but I am not convinced. Below is the XML output written to the screen when "dumpshippingxml" is set to true.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<AccessLicenseAgreementRequest>

<RequestOption>AllTools</RequestOption>

I assume the hardcoded "DevelopmentLicenseNumber" is for Ecomm Plus ... correct? Do you see anything wrong with the XML?

Thanks,

I stumbled on a solution to my issue. In all interfaces to the UPS servers, the following statement is used to create an XMLHTTP object (non proxy):

set objHttp=Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")

I had to change this statement to the following in several files related to UPS shipping:

set objHttp=Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0")

All the UPS shipping functions seem to be working now :)
