okay I've been working on the usps shipping module trying to get it up and running. I've searched around and can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Problem: I get Error: Couldn't resolve host 'http:' when I try to test checkout. For some reason the usps shipping module isn't communicating with the api server. I used the username and password usps sent me and had them turn it on live but it still doesnt seem to work. The server they gave me was http://production.shippingapis.com
If it helps, im running joomla 1.5 and the current build of virtuecart.
please and thanks if anyone knows the answer ;D

Which bit of that thread? I'm having those errors, and it's driving me batty.
I have the same problem with the same USPS Shipping module v4.2 supporting USPS API v3. It is about to kill me! My project is at a stand still and my client is getting antsy........help!
I finally got it to work by removing the HTTP:// in front of the USPS Shipping Server Address (production.shippingapis.com)! YIPPIE!!!
I had the same problem and fixed it by entering the following.
USPS shipping server - production.shippingapis.com/
USPS Shipping Path - shippingapi.dll
Dont forget the "/" after .com
