Hello! I''m relatively new to Rails and in over my head... I''d like to integrate the XML UPS Shipping tools into an online cart so that a user can select a shipping method based on availability and price. I understand what UPS wants and what I should get back from them...but I''m failing at the most basic level. How can I do the following: 1) send UPS an XML Post request, 2) parse the XML that they send back, and 3) use their response in my next view template? It seems like this should be so basic, but I''ve searched with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Kyle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well, I finally got it. I''m not sure that this is the best way, but
here''s what I did:
----------------------------------
require ''net/http''
require ''net/https''
def get_ups_rates
url = "wwwcie.ups.com" # for testing
path = "/ups.app/xml/Rate"
headers = {"Content-Type" => "text/xml"}
h = Net::HTTP.new(url, 443)
h.use_ssl = true
xmlrequest = "<?xml version=''1.0'' ?>

@resp, @data = h.post(path, xmlrequest, headers)
doc = REXML::Document.new(@data)
REXML::XPath.each(doc, "/RatingServiceSelectionResponse/

@code = service.elements["Service"].elements["Code"]
if @code.text == "03"
@upsg
@code.parent.parent.elements["TotalCharges"].elements["MonetaryValue"].text
end
if @code.text == "12"
@ups3
@code.parent.parent.elements["TotalCharges"].elements["MonetaryValue"].text
end
if @code.text == "02"
@ups2
@code.parent.parent.elements["TotalCharges"].elements["MonetaryValue"].text
end
if @code.text == "01"
@ups1
@code.parent.parent.elements["TotalCharges"].elements["MonetaryValue"].text
end
}
session[:upsg] = @upsg if @upsg
session[:ups3] = @ups3 if @ups3
session[:ups2] = @ups2 if @ups2
session[:ups1] = @ups1 if @ups1
end
----------------------------------
I use this to find the rates for UPS Ground, 3-Day, 2-Day, and Next-
Day. The view (template) then takes these rates and plops them into a
selection list. It''s not exactly pretty, but it seems to work.
I hope that somebody might find this useful! I know that I could have
used it when I was trying things out...

Kyle, This may be something that is along the lines of what you are looking for. It''s a rubygem that handles both UPS and FedEx shipping rates. http://shipping.rubyforge.org/ -Will On 8/23/07, Kyle <kyle.rabe-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Well, I finally got it.

Thanks for the link. I had looked at the shipping gem, but it appears that it hasn''t been maintained since 2005. I''m also not quite savvy enough to implement a gem like this by looking only at the source. Hopefully the solution I came up with will continue to work. I haven''t looked at the FedEx tools yet, but UPS (technically speaking) won''t allow a programmer to use their API and display a competitor''s rates side by side. -Kyle On Aug 27, 8:26 am, "Will Weidendorf" <wweidend...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Kyle, > This may be something that is along the lines of what you are looking > for.
