IPN Simulator: “IPN was not sent, and the handshake was not verified. Please review your information.”

问题

I'm getting the following error when using the IPN Simulator -

IPN was not sent, and the handshake was not verified. Please review your information.

The URL is non-SSL HTTP (dev environment).

When I hit it in a browser I get the expected output (and a matching entry in my servers access.log), however when I hit it via the IPN Simulator, I get the above error, and nothing in the servers access log.

On advice from these questions:

• IPN was not sent, and the handshake was not verified. Please review your information.
• IPN Simulator: "IPN was not sent, and the handshake was not verified. Please review your information"

I tried the command openssl s_client -connect api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com:443 -showcerts -CApath /etc/ssl/certs and got the output they suggested:

Verify return code: 0 (ok)

I don't think this is particularly important as I'm not attempting to make an SSL request.

Any other ideas?

I'm attempting this as part of a bug fix, I developed the IPN stuff approximately 3 weeks ago and the IPN Simulator worked just dandily, now not so much.

Thanks in advance.

Check web access logs on your server. In my case there were 500 Internal Server Error on my side and I got same message in IPN Simulator. But IPN Simulator were trying to send request any way...

I found out that IP-based http such as http://182.100.25.4/foo/bar/baz do not work. I used dyndns to create a DNS record to point to 182.100.25.4 and suddenly voila - http://somedns.ddns.net/foo/bar/baz started working properly in the IPN simulator. http-based URLs do work, you do not need to use https-based URLs.

This is incredible but in my case I needed to add a trailing slash to the end of the URL. Truly incredible.
