Sending IPN _notify-validate response to domains other than www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr seems to fail #4

I appears that validating the IPN against anything else than paypal.com fails. It should probably be hardcoded instead of relying on the _build_paypay_url() function. I also couldn't find mention of sending the IPN response to any of the subdomains other than .com

Unless it was all a temporary issue with PayPal, I guess it's worth investigating as it might save some headaches around.

Interesting. I remember you saying it did work for a while though, did you change anything before that failed or does it seems as though PayPal have changed so their country-specific sites no longer respond to IPN?

tmslnz commented 13 years ago

I was in testing mode all the time :) which sends to .com no matter what country has been chosen.

OK, I've looked through the PayPal docs and, though I can't find definitive evidence, they only make reference to IPNs responding at the .com so I've updated the extension to reflect that. Would be great if you can test it and let me know if it solves your problem.

Hey thanks, I'll clone it on the next dev iteration of the website, I had the .com hardcoded already by the time I posted the issue.

By the way, PP seems to be doing geoip based redirection already, are you sure the country targeting function is necessary at all?

It may not be any more, I'll happily remove it if I can confirm that's the case.
