Hello

Excuse my bad english

I am trying to call my IPN URL but the return is 404.
But the URL is OK.
If I take the URL and put it in my browser, everything works.
The url is written with https: // and without / at the end
ssl certificates are OK (TLS1.2 etc.)
The site is in node.js

Do you have an idea of the problem ?
thank you in advance

Hi Freed201,

Are you calling it via the IPN Simulator?
By default a 404 means the destination is not reachable.
In case you have some redirects internally when the URL for the IPN Listener is called than this might cause some troubles.

No it's a real call via a form and a paypal button on my site.
On the IPN history on my paypal account, I see that HTTP response code 404.
If I tacopy pasted the url just above  in my browser, it works

Hello,

You need to check the logs for your webserver, as it's returning a "HTTP 404" response when we attempt to submit an IPN payload to the URL.

A "404" means your webserver returned a "not found" when we attempted to send the IPN data to the IPN URL you provided.

You need to determine the reason for this error being returned by reviewing the logs on the machine where you've requested the IPN's be sent.
