Hi,
I’m trying to post to PayPal using Net::HTTPS. I found the following
script on Google which I modified slightly:
require ‘net/https’
require ‘uri’
params={‘cmd’=>‘_xclick’,‘notify_url’=>'http://www.4test.net/cgi-bin/ipn_notify.cgi’,‘business’=>‘[email protected]’,‘item_name’=>'Book
-
Understanding
Widgets’,‘item_number’=>‘1’,‘amount’=>‘1.00’,‘return’=>‘http://www.mydomain.net/test/dp/success.rhtml’}url = URI.parse(‘http://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr’)
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.basic_auth ‘jack’, ‘pass’
req.set_form_data(params, ';')
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
res = http.start {|http| http.request(req) }
case res
when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection
# OK
else
res.error!
end
puts(res)
It seems to be behaving much better than any of my prior attempts; but,
still doesn’t work. I get:
warning: peer certificate won’t be verified in this SSL session
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:586:in connect': OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:586:in connect’
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:553:in do_start' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:542:in start’
from ./test3.cgi:15
Can anyone suggest what I might do to tame this beast?
Thanks for any input.
