Surely you get an error on the urlopen() bit because it's an HTTPS protocol. Search the ASPN python cookbook or the google for "https python" Next time, try to include your traceback in the email to the list. On 7/6/05, Ed Colmar <ed@greengraphics.net> wrote:
Hi all!
I've been hacking together a few seperate paypal IPN connections, some code from basion, and some from random web scrapings... Anyway... Things are working for the most part, except that this method for some reason dies when using urllib.urlopen(), and what is really wierd is that I get no error message, it just hangs.
I am running an older version of zope, but I have never seen this behaviour before. The debug (-D) flag is set in start.
here is the code I am using... As far as I can tell my syntax is proper... ???

----------------------------------------------
I see all my debug print commands until "encoded Request" and requestparams, so it is getting lost on the urlopen call.
Thanks for any help or tips. I'll post the final IPN method when I'm done.
Cheers!
