Re: Sending back an http 200 response

Hi all,

I'm try to interact with another server. It sends me
a post (I think) and I catch it with my cgi script.
But, it wants me to send back a 200 response with just
OK in it.

How do I do that? Do I have to use the HTTP.pm and
set up a handler? I was hoping to use CGI.pm, but I
guess that it's too late by then. If I do have to set
up a handler, what about the rest of the posts sent to
my server? I only want to handle the ones from that
other particlur server (which is pay pal by the way)

Paypal's help said this:

"PayPal's IPN system expects your web server to send
an HTTP 200 response when the IPN is sent to your IPN
script."

Thanks,
Denzil


Maybe. But why not use the tools that are alreay out there?
