[Android] Speedpost by Singapore post - broken

Post by dal »

Hi!
I've been using the Android app to track parcels but for "Speedpost Singapore post" (speed_sg) it does not work!
Could you please have a look at this?
I can send you a working trackingnumber if you want/need as PM.

Hello! I've been using the beta android app now and the problem is still there
Check the supplied tracking code, it has information on the web but it's not displayed in the app

Hi,

yes, they changes digital appendix to sending fields from time to time(maybe everyday).
App can not recognize it on the fly and it needs to update services.
So if I fix this service today, tomorrow it can stops to work again.
So I afraid I can move this service to temporarily unsupported.

dal, program has universal, but not enough flexible parser algorithm. App can correctly parse info from tracking site, which needs no more than TWO sequential http-requests... but speed_sg service needs THREE to get tracking info(
Maybe if there is another way to get tracking info from Singapore Speed Post in not more than two requests... But I don't know about it.
