I don't want to spend the time searching through your code to see if you have changed this for latest version of AC9, but USPS is changing endpoints to https in October. The https ones work OK now, though.

From USPS:

This message explains some security improvements planned for the USPS Web Tools services. Effective OCTOBER 2021, Web Tools will remove support for all unsecure HTTP endpoints. Additional details will be provided in future email notices.

After this change, all requests to an unsecure HTTP endpoint will fail when attempting to access the Web Tools APIs and integrators may see an error message. To continue using the Web Tools APIs, all requests must be made using the secure HTTPS endpoints listed below. Integrators currently using an unsecure HTTP endpoint should transition as soon as possible to the appropriate secure HTTPS endpoint below to prevent any loss of service. This change will impact only the API endpoints; the API request and response schemas will not change.

This notice is being shared with all USPS Web Tools integrators. It is possible that no changes are necessary to retain Web Tools services. Please review the entire message carefully and share with your web developer, software vendor, and/or IT service provider to determine if your use of the Web Tools APIs will be affected.

Support for the following unsecure HTTP endpoints will be discontinued in all Web Tools environments. In advance of the retirement date, please update your endpoints to the secure HTTPS endpoints listed below.

Thanks for the info Judy. Although, the USPS endpoints are configurable from merchant admin but these are still using unsecure http. I have created a bug report to update these URLs to https in next release. Thanks again!

A dashboard notification and email blast regarding these USPS changes would be immensely helpful to all customers
