Here are the important bits, I've never done the shipping integration
part, so the parsing for tracking I did wont help you.
<cfset xmlDoc = '<TrackRequest xml:lang="en-US"> <Request> <TransactionReference>
<CustomerContext>Jon</CustomerContext> <XpciVersion>1.0001</XpciVersion>
</TransactionReference> <RequestAction>Track</RequestAction>
<RequestOption>activity</RequestOption> </Request>
<TrackingNumber>1Z6119360141730963</TrackingNumber> </TrackRequest>'>
<cfscript>
objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("COM", "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0");
//Send request to UPS
objXMLHTTP.open("POST","https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Track",false);
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Method", "POST");
//not so sure about this...if this doesn't work try text/xml instead
objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
objXMLHTTP.send(xmlDoc);
xml = objXMLHTTP.responseText;
</cfscript>
The xml variable then contains returned xml as a string. This can
easily be made into a UDF too.
