IIRC Paypal use OpenSSL though I don't know any more details about how they are using it. If there's a signed data structure witing an enveloped data one then whitespace isn't likely to be a problem. It could be something related to the signing time. When you sign data it includes a signing time. Its possible they are checking that against the time or receipt and if there is a large skew they will reject it. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
