Daniel Kunkel commented on OFBIZ-270: ------------------------------------- Hi I'm not sure I understand your point... but I'll guess. == Yes, please delete the comment. I had put it there for my own use. == Yes, the patch is necessary. Before: http://usps.com?x=1&y=2 After: http://usps.com?x=1&y=2 Thanks > USPS Rate Estimation > -------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-270 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-270 > Project: Apache OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Bug > Components: product > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Environment: Any > Reporter: Marco Risaliti > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > Attachments: shipping.patch > > > This is a copy of the old Jira issue > http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-657 from Daniel Kunkel > =========================================================== > The USPS automatic Rate Inquiry module has numerous flaws. > I was able to find and fix them, albeit, with potentially unacceptable > techniques. > Specifically: > 1.) USPS now uses Get and does not Post any longer. > 2.) Pounds must be a integer number. > 3.) The calculation for breaking a weight into pounds and ounces was > inaccurate. (UPS module too) > 4.) The HttpClient HTTP GET was inserting & between the value pairs > instead of & > !!!! My fix for this issue may not be appropriate! > 5.) No provision for converting other units of measure to Pounds. Other parts > of the program seem to default to the ounce, while shipping defaulted to the > pound. > Remaining Issues... > Must find a way to disable the estimator during an error. The system > currently defaults to $1, which is a believeable, yet money loosing postage. > Need to add International Shipping Support. > Finally... This is my first patch contribution... It will need extra time and > attention to verify! > Thanks > Daniel > > > All Comments Work Log Change History Sort Order: > Comment by Daniel Kunkel [08/Jan/06 02:13 AM] [ Permlink ] > My fixes which SEEM to work.

Granted it was my first patch and even I don't like the code, but it > did get the domestic USPS postal calculator working which has been a real > boon for our business. Furthermore it allowed for the conversion of product > weights to lbs for the usps, another feature we needed. > PS.
