New changes to Paypal 7.October 2013 – Plugin, any action needed?

  • Hi, first of all, thanks for an amazing plugin!

    I got few emails from PayPal in recent months, regarding the discontinue of support for HTTP 1.0 protocol starting October 7, 2013.

    It is somehow related to IPN, and as I understand this plugin uses IPN, I wonder, if there are any changes needed to be done on the side of plugin users, so it will continue to work and payments will be processed, even after 7th October.

    Here is I believe the important part from the email:
    Additional Details

    Starting October 7, 2013, we will require all incoming requests to have a “Host” header which complies with HTTP 1.1 Specifications. This header was not required under HTTP 1.0. IPN and PDT scripts using HTTP 1.0 may start failing with “HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request” errors after October 7, 2013, which will result in IPN messages not being validated successfully, or PDT scripts not being able to retrieve transaction information.

    Action Required before October 7, 2013

    Merchants need to update their IPN and/or PDT scripts to use HTTP 1.1, and include the “Host” and “Connection: close” HTTP header in the IPN postback script.

    Thank you in advance for your response

  • Interesting. I have received no such emails as of yet. how ever if the author reads this forum and I hope he/she does, I’m hoping they will come up with a plugin update that will address this and other concerns I’m seeing on the board.

    Take care.
