I'm attempting to validate addresses and zipcode through the post office's 
server.

When I cut and copy the complete url to my web browser, I get a sucessful 
verification, but when I attempt to programatically get the data, I fail. 
Any pointers and example code would be greatly appreciated it, I'm really 
new to this.

The result of my test is "400 Bad request".

My URL is (user ID changed):
http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll?API=Verify&XML=<?xml 
version='1.0'?><AddressValidateRequest USERID='999xxxxx9999'><Address 
ID='0'><Address1></Address1><Address2>6406 Ivy 
Lane</Address2><City>Greenbelt</City><State>md</State><Zip5>74429</Zip5><Zip4></Zip4></Address></AddressValidateRequest>

My code is:
  AnsiString  sString = "?API=Verify&XML=<?xml 
version='1.0'?><AddressValidateRequest USERID='999xxxxx9999'><Address 
ID='0'><Address1></Address1><Address2>6406 Ivy 
Lane</Address2><City>Greenbelt</City><State>md</State><Zip5>74429</Zip5><Zip4></Zip4></Address></AddressValidateRequest>";

  TIdHTTP* http = new TIdHTTP(Application);
  http->Request->ContentType = "text/xml";

  TStringStream* outstr = new TStringStream("");

  try {
    http->Get(sString, outstr);
    ShowMessage(outstr->DataString);

  }

  __finally {
    delete outstr;

  }


Thank you for any pointers / help
