GETURI requests to wwwcie.ups.com blocked and sent to AkamaiGHost server. Blocked IP address?

GETURI requests to wwwcie.ups.com blocked and sent to AkamaiGHost server.  Blocked IP address?

 

I’m in the development phase of using GETURI to send a UPS OAUTH/TOKEN request
 
https://wwwcie.ups.com/security/v1/oauth/token
 
I receive the following message ‘Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>’
 
I am successfully sending and receiving a ups token request with POSTMAN.
 
I have verified that my headers and body are the same in both applications, POSTMAN and GETURI request.  This would include the Authorization: Basic (url encoded string) header.

My GETURI request is being diverted to the AkamaiGhost server.  The most likely resuld of my IP address is being blocked.

My analysis has led me to the AKAMAI Community website.

Has anyone had to deal with getting your IBM i IP address unblocked?

The AKAMAI website uses my local laptop ip.  Is it as simple as using the GETURI interface to check the IBM i against the Akamai blocked database list?

Thank you.

I would need more details.  You're welcome to email me.  You can find contact info at https://www.bvstools.com/contact.  I also can provide consulting.

I also have the G4UPS software at https://www.bvstools.com/g4ups.  You could try it to see if you get the same errors.
