I have websites written in Classic ASP. The code worked for years and now it doesn’t. The purpose of the code is to pay for an item through Paypal and return the customer back to the website. The host updated their servers. The code below now results in the following error message:
server giving msxml3.dll error '80072f7d' when trying to access secure url
According to Ryan, an IT expert, the error means the certificate authority is invalid or incorrect. However, the certificate is accepted when the customer clicks the button to pay for the product. I did ask the host to install a new encryption certificate based on a new data. Still getting the error message in the function below.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
