Setup Usps Module In Virtuemart Joomla

Hi,

I need some help setting up my usps module in vm.

I get this below error when i try and process the orders. I assume thats because i didnt do more steps such the xml code. I have no clue how to do this or what it needs. I can forward the full email once ready with instructions to further setup this module. It should be simple but this is not my expertise. I think the problem is because i didnt put the api and xml part in the back end but i dont know how or what to fill in there. I am looking for someone who has experience with this as i have tried someone else before and they cant get it.

This is part of the email i got from USPS.

Your Web Tools User ID, shown above, is required to test and integrate USPS Web Tools APIs. With this ID, you may begin sending calls to the test server. Depending on the API, the address to the test server is either http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll or https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll. Use this information in combination with your User ID and your XML string to send a request to the USPS servers. For more details, refer to the programming guides (located at http://www.usps.com/webtools) for the specific API you are integrating.

A sample test request would look like: “http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll?API=[API_Name]&XML=[XML_String_containing_User_ID]”

This is the web error i get:

Error: Couldn’t resolve host ‘http:’
