Default USPS changing to secure server?

Does this affect OSCmax? I read on another site that if you are using just a rate calculator that it isnt necessary to make the change? Is that what oscmax uses?

Dear USPS Web Tools Customer,



Subject: FOURTH NOTICE - Important – Action Required! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implemented for Web Tool APIs



This is the fourth notice sent regarding the SSL Implementation for Web Tools APIs. If you wish to continue using the APIs listed below, you must alter your code by January 31, 2007. You will be required to communicate via https://, instead of http://, for a total of 46 USPS Web Tools APIs. This change will also require you to change the Web Tools server called from production.shippingapis.com to secure.shippingapis.com.



After January 31, 2007, the http:// instances of impacted APIs shall no longer be accessible.



Please be advised the list of APIs impacted, as detailed in table below, are currently accessible under SSL and therefore you can begin calling these new instances immediately. Your User ID and the API names are the same.



The USPS has implemented such changes to secure your personally-identifiable information (PII) data transmitted over the Internet. Technical user guides available via: http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm have been updated and denote proper URL prefixes.

Don't be. osCMax is not affected by this. The USPS methods mod uses a connection method that is not going to be changed.
