first, the url you should request is
http://www.usps.com/zip4/zip4_response.jsp
it is the "action" attribute of the form submitted as you can see when
you view source of http://www.usps.com/zip4,
then, when you trace javascript executed on the form submission,
you'll notice that the field "address" is filled with the result of
concatenation of "address1" and " " and "address2"
update these two bits and it'll work as you intended
> url = "http://www.usps.com/zip4/zip4_response.jsp"
...
> 'address': '1600 pennsylvania',
> 'address1': '',
> 'address2': '',
...
