Well i'm working on a paypal project, so whenever i try to connect my ipn listenere via live url
(https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr) its working well and returning the response HTTP 200 and also return "VERIFIED" or "INVALID".
But when i change my ipn listener to its sandbox url (https://ipnpb.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr) everything got **bleep**, no response just an error in my log file:
Curl Request failed: SSL connect error(35)
Please help me as i'm really confused with it, i tried searching everywhere but didn't get any appropriate answer.
Some valuable information of client server
TLS: TLS 1.2
OPENSSL: NSS/3.19.1 Basic ECC

Hey, what was the issue in the end? I'm seeing the same in my dev environment. Sandbox gives me this error:
error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Yet the live ipnbp server works. Any tips appreciated!
