so my issue is according to the documentation (wich is pretty slim and not the greatest) the xml i have is everything that is required, but im getting this error code back
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error><Number>80040B19</Number><Description>XML Syntax Error: Please check the XML request to see if it can be parsed.</Description><Source>USPSCOM::DoAuth</Source></Error> this doesnt make much sense to me because my account is in production mode, and as i said according to the documentation i have everything that is required, i have spent the last 2 days trying to get this to work and nothing.
the VerifyAddress function works fine, but the RateCheck function does not work.
