That is because you are not sending the request correctly, as the server is
telling you.

You should be encoding that URL before passing it to Get().

You are not including the full URL address in that string, only the query
portion.  You must provide the full URL.

You are sending the XML through the URL itself, not through a post stream,
so the ContentType is meaningless in this case.


Try this instead:

    AnsiString  sString =
"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><Zip
4></Zip4></Address></AddressValidateRequest>";

    sString = TIdURI::URLEncode(__classid(TIdURI), sString);

    TIdHTTP* http = new TIdHTTP(NULL);
    try
    {
        ShowMessage(http->Get(sString));
    }
    __finally {
        delete http;
    }
