New PayPal x.com API

Hi All,

I am working on a website that will require the purchase of a single item. I was going to use your "Paypal redirect" and "Paypal Listener (IPN return)" modules, but when I went to paypal to setup my IPN they said it is no longer available and that I would have to use their new API from X.com....

See this link... https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/how-to-guides/how-use-express-checkout-one-time-payments

That being the case...

Will you be coming out with upgraded paypal modules quickly/soon?

Should I just hardcode this as custom code?

If I hardcode, which event will give me a similar function to the "Paypal Listener" with "on Verified", "On Invalid", and "On Error" event results?

[/list]

Any other suggestions would be helpful...

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi the_fitz,

I don't see anything on the PayPal site (or in a Google search) to suggest that IPN is deprecated???

It still seems to be offered and working.

There is an example of using PayPal Express Payments Pro in the forums here I think.

Hi MrFitz,

If I read it correctly that says that HTTP 1.0 support is being deprecated in favour of HTTP 1.1

I don't see anything about IPN being deprecated.

Hi,

Thank you, looks like a small a change will be needed to the "PayPal listener" action, that's all.🙂

I'm sure you hate this but. Will that update be available soon?🤨
Thanks

Hi The Fitz,

This line

$header = "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";

needs to change to

$header = "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.1\r\n";

I think that the cURL option will adjust automatically, if not you'd need to add this option around line 70

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);

But why the rush - the change doesn't happen until February 2013?

Hi Bob,

The rush? No, but I would rather complete my coding and deliver my job complete to my client without having to update him at some later date.

Thanks
