USPS Test Server.

I'm trying to set up USPS to go to their test server
I've changed the line.
to read
In the first version I get
"you are not authorized for this server"
which I've read means they haven't activated your account because you haven't tested and have them turn on the account.
in the second I get.

API Authorization failure. RateV3 is not a valid API name for this protocol.

so how do you set up for testing so they can see you did some testing?

And yes I'm using my Web tools account.

Well, if it says you're not authorized to use the server the first thing to check is your developer key/user ID. I'd also go over the USPS Web Development Guide.

There is no "ShippingAPITest.dll"

the dll doesn't change. Only the prefix "testing" changes

thats funny they send an email with that .dll on it. I'll give it a try..

I just noticed you put a space in your URL.

I just decided there is no such thing as a test system for usps.. I just called them and had them turn on the production and it works.. go figure.
