Server doesn't send response code

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jacque,

Is it possible that you need to urlDecode or unescape the data from stdIn before posting them back to PayPal? Could it be that the data parts in tOrderData need to be urlEncoded? Could there be a problem with the character encoding? I always make sure that I send and receive UTF8.

Have you tried libUrlSetSSLVerification false?

My PHP script contains a "Content-Length" header, which is set to the total length of tOrderData. I'm also using a header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded". I don't see these headers in your script. The libUrlPostFormdata command uses the second header too and that makes me think that it may not be sent automatically with the post command.

I use a socket timeout interval of 30 seconds, yours seems to be 10 seconds (the default).
