Coldfusion IPN Returns "Connection Error" #127

Closed Sadie closed 6 years ago

General information

Issue description

I am using the paypal_ipn.cfm exactly as presented here in the code samples. Whether using the IPN Simulator or my own sandbox cart, I successfully receive the data from PayPal and return it via URL. But I can't get either a 'verified' or 'invalid' status.

The error_log.txt file contains "{ts '2018-03-20 09:33:37'}-Connection Failure" for my most recent send from the Simulator.

This is the related http request from the http.log in ColdFusion Administrator (in an attached text file): http_request.txt

So, I receive neither a 'verified' or 'invalid' response, because apparently I'm not connecting.

In prior years I was able to successfully use "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?[attach string]", but as previously mentioned, I am using the code exactly as presented on this site with the new "https://ipnpb.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?[attach string]".

I am desperate to resolve this and appreciate any and all assistance.

Hi Sadie Are you able to test with the old URL? I'm not familiar with CF, could it be a cert issue? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20469194/coldfusion-https-connection-failure.
