I was testing the USPS Api, when I got that error.
This is because of the error in my root tag, my request is as follow:
As written, I am calling the verify API. What I did wrong was I named the root tag, sure it works on the test server: http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll. But it failed in the production: http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll.
Solution:
Just rename the root tag to <addressvalidaterequest>, the xml request becomes:
Note: It seems USPS is treating address1 as address2 and vice versa. Take note of this :D.

ReplyDeleteHow did you find the correct root tag name?!
Sorry, I updated the script container long time ago and as a result broke my first set of posts just like this one. Anyway I've updated this post.
