I have this for PayPal IPN:

@query = ‘cmd=\_notify-validate’  
request.params.each\_pair {|key, value| @query = @query + ‘&’ + key + ‘=’

- value.first if key != ‘register/pay\_pal\_ipn.html/pay\_pal\_ipn’ }  
http = Net::HTTP.new(‘[www.paypal.com](http://www.paypal.com)’, 443)  
http.use\_ssl = true  
response = http.post(‘/cgi-bin/webscr’, @query)

Will this work when the app server doesn’t have SSL?

I wonder because I get this Notice from the LSWS “peer certificate won’t  
be verified in this SSL session”.
