That's exactly what's happening. I've trimmed my test script down to 
almost nothing. There are no script errors but PayPal keeps reporting a 
500 error now. Pierre suggested putting "ok" too but it didn't work. I 
just tried it again:

on startup
     read from stdin until empty
     put it into tOrderData
     LOG the long time && "Received:" && tOrderData
     put "cmd=_notify-validate&" before tOrderData -- required response
     put "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" into tPPAddr
     put "curl --data" &&quote& tOrderData &quote&& tPPAddr into tPostCmd
     put shell(tPostCmd) into tCurlRslt
     put last word of tCurlRslt into tResponse -- "VERIFIED"; ignore the 
ascii progress meter
     LOG the long time && "Response:" && tResponse
     put "ok"
end startup

This one uses curl but the same problem happens with libURL. My log 
shows all the correct data coming in.

I'll look at the references you posted, but could you let me know if the 
above script looks right? I've also sent a support ticket to my ISP, 
because it acts like port 443 outbound might be blocked.
