I did a little more investigation of this. It seems there may also be an
issue with the paypal protocol. I did some hacking of the PayPal.C file to
add the verify file and path to the Http client. I also had to change the
"post" call to a "get" in order to get it to make the ssl connection.
Here's the working code in PayPalExpressCheckout::setup():
char buffer[512];
client->setTimeout(15);
client->setSslVerifyFile(getenv("SSL_CERT_FILE"));
client->setSslVerifyPath(getenv("SSL_CERT_DIR"));
client->setFollowRedirect(true); // there is a redirect once you hit the
paypal site
sprintf(buffer,
"https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/?USER=%s&PWD=%s&SIGNATURE=%s&METHOD=SetExpre
ssCheckout&VERSION=98&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=10&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION
=SALE&cancelUrl=http://www.example.com/cancel.html&returnUrl=http://www.exam
ple.com/success.html",
impl_->service_.user().c_str(),
impl_->service_.password().c_str(), impl_->service_.signature().c_str());
// if (!client->post(impl_->service_.apiServerUrl(), message)) -**old
code**
// LOG_ERROR("error submiting POST");
client->get(buffer); // ***new code***
The connection was successfully made (prior to this verification always
failed), but the returned response failed the validation check in
PayPalExpressCheckout::testMessage. It was looking for an "ACK" that was
not found. I seem to recall reading somewhere that that is correct, but
when I cut and pasted the response into a file and loaded it into the
browser it turned out to be the PayPal login page for the sandbox site (it
even worked when I clicked on it) - this is the behavior that I'm used to
seeing from PayPal - you login, approve payment and then get sent back to
the payees site.
Hope this is of help in resolving this. I'd really like to use this widget.
