TibxUSPSRates

Remarks

This component provides automated online access to domestic and international rate information. These domestic rates are for: Express Mail, First-Class Mail, and Priority Mail, as well as single-piece rates for all four Package Services: Parcel Post, Bound Printed Matter, Library Mail, and Media Mail. The international rates are for International Priority Mail, International Express Mail (EMS), and International First Class Mail, along with service standards for each class of service.

To use this component to receive rate information for domestic shipments, simply set the PackageWeight, SenderZipCode, RecipientZipCode, and PackageSize. Then simply call GetRates.

You may also optionally supply dimensions of the package with PackageLength, PackageWidth, and PackageHeight, and filter the results returned by ServiceType and PackageType.

In response to this request, the USPS Server will return a list of postage services available for mailing your package. You can access these services through the ServiceListNetCharge, ServiceType, and ServiceTypeDescription properties. The number of PostalZones between the SenderZipCode and RecipientZipCode will also be returned, along with any Restrictions for mailing to APO/FPO addresses.

To use this component to receive rate information for international shipments, simply set the PackageWeight, PackageType, and RecipientCountryCode, and then call GetRates.

For International rates, the following properties may be returned:

• ServiceType
• ServiceTypeDescription
• ServiceCommitments
• ServiceMaxDimensions
• ServiceMaxWeight
• ServiceListNetCharge
• ServiceInsuranceCost
• ServiceInsuranceComment
• ServiceIndemnityCoverage

Please note that in most cases international packages may need a Customs Declaration form, and packages may also be subject to mailing restrictions unique to the destination country. To assist you with this important information, the International Rates component will return all the necessary mailing Restrictions, Prohibitions, and Observations, names of required CustomsForms, as well as delivery AreasServed.

Remarks

The value of this property is optional to be provided when GetRates is called.

This property applies only to Parcel Post and First Class Mail. (Machinable criteria do not apply to Priority Mail, Express Mail, Bound Printed Matter, Library Mail, or Media Mail). The size, content, and weight of a Parcel Post package determine whether it is machinable or non-machinable. Characteristics of machinable mail are listed below:

A parcel is machinable when it:

• Not less than 6" long, 3" high, 0.25" thick, and 6 ounces in weight.
• Not more than 34" long, 17" high, 17" thick, or 35 lbs in weight. For books or other printed matter, the maximum weight is 25 lbs.

A letter-sized piece is not machinable if it has one or more of the following characteristics:

• Has an aspect ratio (length divided by height) of less than 1.3 or more than 2.5.
• Is polybagged, polywrapped, or enclosed in any plastic material.
• Has clasps, strings, buttons, or similar closure devices.
• Contains items such as pens, pencils, or loose keys or coins that cause the thickness of the mailpiece to be uneven.
• Is too rigid (does not bend easily when subjected to a transport belt tension of 40 lbs around an 11" diameter turn).
• For pieces more than 4.25" high or 6" long, the thickness is less than 0.009".
• Has a delivery address parallel to the shorter dimension of the mailpiece.
• Is a self-mailer with a folded edge perpendicular to the address.
• Booklet-type pieces with the bound edge (spine) along the shorter dimension of the piece or at the top.

A flat (large envelope) is always machinable so long as it meets the criteria for being a flat. (See the PackageType property for more information).

This property can also be specified on service type "ALL", but it will only apply to the Parcel Post rate. Even if Machinable is True, if the weight or dimension requirements exceed the limitations above, USPS will automatically return rates that include the non-machinable surcharge.

Data Type

Remarks

The packaging type of the package being rated and/or shipped.

Possible values are:

If this is set to a value that is not applicable to a certain provider, it will automatically be set to ptNone (0).

For FedEx, this is required in a ship request when either the GetPackageLabel or GetShipmentLabels method is called. FedEx only supports one packaging type for the whole shipment, so only the PackagePackagingType for the first package is used in label requests.

If the PackagePackagingType is set to 31 (Your Packaging), then the dimensions of the package should be provided in the request by setting the following: PackageLength, PackageWidth, and PackageHeight.

If the ServiceType is set to any of the FedEx Ground services (Ground or Ground Home Delivery), then the PackagePackagingType will be automatically set to 31 (Your Packaging).

Please note that the types pt10kgBox (13) and pt25kgBox (14) are only meant for international shipments and domestic shipments outside of the United States.

For UPS, please note that when selecting PackagePackagingType make sure this is valid for all the following: SenderCountryCode, RecipientCountryCode, ServiceType, and all special services requested at both shipment and package level.

Also the following restrictions apply when using UPS Mail Innovations:

For USPS, this is used for getting rates and Endicia labels. For international shipments, the only valid values are: ptRectangular and ptNonRectangular.

For Canada Post, ptLetter (2) is only applicable if theContractId is set.

The PackageIdx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PackageCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

PackageSignatureType Property (USPSRates Component)

Specifies one of the Delivery Signature Options requested for this package.

Syntax

__property TibxUSPSRatesPackageSignatureTypes PackageSignatureType[int PackageIdx] = { read=FPackageSignatureType, write=FSetPackageSignatureType };

enum TibxUSPSRatesPackageSignatureTypes {
  stServiceDefault=0,
  stAdult=1,
  stDirect=2,
  stIndirect=3,
  stNoSignatureRequired=4,
  stUSPSDeliveryConfirmation=5,
  stAdult19=6
};

Default Value

stServiceDefault

Remarks

Specifies one of the Delivery Signature Options requested for this package. Possible values are:

For FedEx Express shipments, the NoSignatureRequired option will not be allowed when the following special services are requested: Alcohol, Hold At Location or Dangerous Goods.

For residential FedEx Ground International shipments from Canada to the U.S., two valid signature options are allowed: NoSignatureRequired and Direct.

The impact of signature options fees may vary depending on your agreement with FedEx. Following are the definitions for FedEx:

• Service Default: In this case, the appropriate signature option will be selected for your shipping service. For example, if the package contains Dangerous Goods, the Direct signature option is chosen for you. The actual signature option applied to this package could be different than the signature option requested if a conflict occurred with other service features in the package. In this case, the value set in the request will be ignored.
• Indirect Signature Required: Indicates that an indirect signature is required upon delivery. This is allowed to residential addresses only. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature in one of three ways: from any person at the delivery address, from a neighbor, building manager, or other person at a neighboring address. The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Direct Signature Required: Indicates that a direct signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery; Direct Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This option is not available for Hold at FedEx Location shipments. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Adult Signature Required: Indicates that the adult signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at least 21 years old (government-issued photo identification required) at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery. Adult Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

Note: In the server reply, this option may differ from that requested value due to other characteristics of the shipment.

For UPS, when delivery confirmation is requested for a package, the PackageSignatureType should be set to a value other than 0 (stServiceDefault). The availability of this special service depends on the ServiceType. The type stIndirect is not valid for UPS packages.

Also, when using UPS Mail Innovations, delivery confirmation can be requested by setting this to stUSPSDeliveryConfirmation.

Delivery Confirmation and COD cannot coexist on a single package. Also, Delivery Confirmation option cannot be combined with the Return Services option.

For USPS, if this is not set to stServiceDefault or stNoSignatureRequired, the Signature Confirmation service will be used. Also, for Express label shipments, set this to stNoSignatureRequired to waive the signature requirements.

This does not apply for Canada Post.

The PackageIdx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PackageCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

This property is only used by USPS and is required for the GetRates method call.

See below for valid entries:

Note: For parcels, length; is the measurement of the longest dimension and girth is the measurement around the thickest part (perpendicular to the length). Except for Parcel Post, no mailpiece may measure more than 108 inches in length and girth combined. Parcel Post pieces measuring over 108 inches, but not more than 130 inches in combined length and girth are mailable at the applicable oversized rate.

Note: Use the PackageLength, PackageHeight, PackageWidth and optionally PackageGirth (irregular shaped packages only) properties to specify the dimensions of the package.

Note: only psRegular and psLarge are available when getting rates for international shipments.

The PackageIdx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PackageCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Integer

PackageWeight Property (USPSRates Component)

Weight of this package.

Syntax

__property String PackageWeight[int PackageIdx] = { read=FPackageWeight, write=FSetPackageWeight };

Default Value

"0.0"

Remarks

Weight of this package.

For FedEx, this is required to be provided in the request. It requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

For UPS, this is required to be provided in the request for each package contained in the shipment if PackagePackagingType is set to a value other than 0 (UPS Letter). For Ground shipments, if the actual weight is less than 150 pounds, then the billable weight is 150 pounds. Air and 3 Day Select shipments will not be subject to a minimum billable weight. Format: it requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

Note that if the ServiceType stUPSSurePostLessThan1LB or stUPSFirstClassMail is used, or the ServiceType stUPSExpeditedMailInovations is used with the PackagePackagingType ptMachineables, ptIrregulars, or ptStandardFlat then the weight must be specified in ounces. The WeightUnit config will be set automatically to "OZS" if not set.

For USPS, this must be the weight in pounds and ounces of the package. Package weight cannot exceed 70 pounds. (First-Class Mail cannot exceed 13 ounces. Bound Printed Matter cannot exceed 15 pounds). On international shipments, weight limits vary by country.

The format must be in "N lbs N oz", or as an integer showing the number of ounces. For example, a package with weight 6 lbs, 8 oz can be specified as "6 lbs 8 oz" or as "104".

However, in USPS, if PostageProvider is set to ppEndicia, then the format must be one explicit decimal position in ounces (i.e. N.N formatting).

For Canada Post, the weight of the parcel should be specified in kilograms (e.g. 99.999).

The PackageIdx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PackageCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

PackageWidth Property (USPSRates Component)

The width of the package to be shipped.

Syntax

__property int PackageWidth[int PackageIdx] = { read=FPackageWidth, write=FSetPackageWidth };

Default Value

0

Remarks

The width of the package to be shipped.

For FedEx, the PackageWidth is optional, but recommended, if "Your Packaging" is used as PackagePackagingType. This is required if PackageLength and PackageHeight are provided in the request. It is also required if a FedEx Express heavyweight service is selected for the shipment.

For UPS, this is the width of the package used to determine dimensional weight and therefore is recommended for all shipments.

It is required for GB to GB, and Poland to Poland shipments, and for 'Pallete' packaging type. For UPS packaging types: the length, width and height are defaulted.

Length + 2*(Width+Height) must be less than or equal to 130 IN or 330 CM. When PackageWidth is provided in the request, then all other dimensions (PackageLength and PackageHeight) are to be set as well.

For USPS, this is only required if the package is irregular and the PackagePackagingType property is set to ptNonRectangular. (In this case PackageWidth and PackageHeight must still be set).

Note: For parcels, PackageLength is the measurement of the longest dimension and PackageWidth and PackageHeight make up the other two dimensions. PackageGirth is the measurement around the thickest part of the package, perpendicular to the length.

Except for Parcel Post, no mailpiece may measure more than 108 inches in length and girth combined. Parcel Post pieces measuring over 108 inches, but not more than 130 inches in combined length and girth are mailable at the applicable oversized rate.

Note that the PackageLength, PackageWidth, and PackageHeight are required for Priority Mail packages when the PackageSize is set to psLarge.

Note also that this applies to Endicia shipping label requests.

For Canada Post, this field should be set to the second longest dimension (3.1 digits e.g. 999.9 pattern).

The PackageIdx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the PackageCount property.

This property is not available at design time.

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLAcceptServerCertStore and SSLAcceptServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLAcceptServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

SSLCertEncoded Property (USPSRates Component)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

__property String SSLCertEncoded = { read=FSSLCertEncoded, write=FSetSSLCertEncoded };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLCertEncodedB, write=FSetSSLCertEncodedB };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLCertStore and SSLCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

SSLCertStore Property (USPSRates Component)

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Syntax

__property String SSLCertStore = { read=FSSLCertStore, write=FSetSSLCertStore };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLCertStoreB = { read=FSSLCertStoreB, write=FSetSSLCertStoreB };

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSLCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLCertStorePassword.

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

Data Type

Byte Array

SSLCertStorePassword Property (USPSRates Component)

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

__property String SSLCertStorePassword = { read=FSSLCertStorePassword, write=FSetSSLCertStorePassword };

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Data Type

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The component supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the component will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

Data Type

Integer

SSLCertSubject Property (USPSRates Component)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

__property String SSLCertSubject = { read=FSSLCertSubject, write=FSetSSLCertSubject };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

Data Type

String

SSLProvider Property (USPSRates Component)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

__property TibxUSPSRatesSSLProviders SSLProvider = { read=FSSLProvider, write=FSetSSLProvider };

enum TibxUSPSRatesSSLProviders {
  sslpAutomatic=0,
  sslpPlatform=1,
  sslpInternal=2
};

Default Value

sslpAutomatic

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the component will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used.

Data Type

Integer

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (USPSRates Component)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

__property String SSLServerCertEncoded = { read=FSSLServerCertEncoded };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLServerCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLServerCertEncodedB };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

Timeout Property (USPSRates Component)

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

__property int Timeout = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout };

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The component will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the component raises an exception.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

TotalValue Property (USPSRates Component)

Total value of the items inside the package.

Syntax

__property String TotalValue = { read=FTotalValue, write=FSetTotalValue };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used by USPS to compute the InsuranceCost and IndemnityCoverage. (if they are available for the current RequestedService and RecipientCountryCode).

Data Type

String

USPSAccountNumber Property (USPSRates Component)

The shipper's Endicia account number.

Syntax

__property String USPSAccountNumber = { read=FUSPSAccountNumber, write=FSetUSPSAccountNumber };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The shipper's Endicia account number.

This property is only used when shipping with Endicia and will take a production account number. During testing please set EndiciaTestMode which will automatically use a sandbox account. During testing this property does not need to be set.

Data Type

String

USPSPassword Property (USPSRates Component)

Password to use for logging in to the USPS Server .

Syntax

__property String USPSPassword = { read=FUSPSPassword, write=FSetUSPSPassword };

Default Value

""

Remarks

Password to use for logging in to the USPS Server.

This password is provided to you by USPS when you register for service. The password is not to be shared with others outside your organization, nor is it to be packaged, distributed, or sold to any other person or entity.

Note, the Password property has been depreciated by USPS, and remains only for backwards compatibility.

When PostageProvider has been set to ppEndicia, this must be the pass phrase associated with your postage account that was supplied to you by Endicia upon registration.

Data Type

String

USPSServer Property (USPSRates Component)

URL for the USPS server where the requests are sent.

Syntax

__property String USPSServer = { read=FUSPSServer, write=FSetUSPSServer };

Default Value

"https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll"

Remarks

URL for the USPS server where the requests are sent.

When PostageProvider has been set to ppEndicia, the live production URL will be set automatically. For testing please set EndiciaTestMode.

When PostageProvider has been set to ppStamps, the live production URL will be set automatically. For testing please set StampsTestMode.

There are two different live and test URLs that have been provided by the US Postal service for use with the Webtools APIs (and these components). There is one plaintext URL and one SSL-secured URL for both live and testing. These URLs are listed below, along with the components that use them.

Live Servers:

Test Servers:

These test servers return CANNED RESPONSES. They will only accept a specific set of data, and will only return one pre-formed response. Any transaction that does not contain the exact data they expect will cause an error to be generated. Because of these limitations we strongly recommend you test using a live account.

Note that the label components must use the live server for testing, but with the Certify configuration setting set to True. There is no need to set Certify with Endicia or Stamps.com. Set EndiciaTestMode or StampsTestMode instead.

Data Type

String

USPSUserId Property (USPSRates Component)

User Id for logging in to the USPS WebTools or Stamps.

Syntax

__property String USPSUserId = { read=FUSPSUserId, write=FSetUSPSUserId };

Default Value

""

Remarks

User Id for logging in to the USPS WebTools or Stamps.com Server.

This User Id is provided to you by USPS or Stamps.com when you register for service. The UserId is not to be shared with others outside your organization, nor is it to be packaged, distributed, or sold to any other person or entity. During testing set StampsTestMode to use the built-in sandbox account. This field is not used by Endicia.

Data Type

String

Config Method (USPSRates Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

GetRates Method (USPSRates Component)

Calculates postage rates to ship a package via the RequestedService .

Syntax

void __fastcall GetRates();

Remarks

For domestic rate requests, this method allows you to calculate how much domestic shipping will cost to mail a package with a certain size and weight, from SenderZipCode to RecipientZipCode by Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, Parcel Post, Media Mail, Library Mail, or as Bound Printed Matter.

Domestic rate requests use values for the following properties:

• RequestedService (required)
• SenderZipCode (required)
• RecipientZipCode (required)
• PackageWeight (required)
• PackageSize (required)
• PackageLength (required for large packages)
• PackageWidth (required for large packages)
• PackageHeight (required for large packages)
• PackageGirth (required for irregular packages)
• PackageType (optional)
• Machinable (optional)

• Restrictions
• PostalZone
• ServiceListNetCharge
• ServiceType

GetShippingTime Method (USPSRates Component)

Returns the estimated time to ship a package from ZipCode to ZipCode .

Syntax

void __fastcall GetShippingTime();

Remarks

This method call contacts the USPS USPSServer and determines the average estimated time to ship a package from SenderZipCode to RecipientZipCode. This method call fills the following properties: SenderZipCode, RecipientZipCode and Days.

Origination and destination ZIP Codes must be valid. Only the first 3 digits of each ZIP code is required. If a 4- or 5-digit ZIP Code is entered, the last 1 or 2 digits will be ignored.

Reset Method (USPSRates Component)

Resets the internal state of the component and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

void __fastcall Reset();

Remarks

The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.

Error Event (USPSRates Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TibxUSPSRatesErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibxUSPSRatesErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibxUSPSRatesErrorEventParams *e);
__property TibxUSPSRatesErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Notification Event (USPSRates Component)

Notification returned by the server upon successful request (if applicable).

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TibxUSPSRatesNotificationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibxUSPSRatesNotificationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibxUSPSRatesNotificationEventParams *e);
__property TibxUSPSRatesNotificationEvent OnNotification = { read=FOnNotification, write=FOnNotification };

Remarks

When sending a request, the server may return with a successful reply or an error. However, even when a transaction is successful, a warning or a note might still be returned by the server. In such cases, the Notification event is fired.

Notifications returned through this event are non-fatal and shipments will still be processes, labels will still be printable, rates are still returned, etc. These notifications should be treated as informational only.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (USPSRates Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TibxUSPSRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibxUSPSRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibxUSPSRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TibxUSPSRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (USPSRates Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TibxUSPSRatesSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibxUSPSRatesSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibxUSPSRatesSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TibxUSPSRatesSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
