Hi, my IPN listener stopped working recently and I'm not sure why. I scaled down my listener to bare bones just to see if it receives the IPN but when I try to log, I get nothing. I have an SSL cert with GoDaddy and when I test locally using an html form, it seems to work. I get INVALID of course because it's not from Paypal, it's from my own web form. When I resend IPNs to my listener, however, I never get an HTTP response. It's blank. This has been driving me crazy for last week. If anyone can please help, it would be much appreciated.
This is my listener (URL listed in profile IPN settings with https):
<?php
require('pp_ipn2.php');
function writeToLog($text) {
$handle = fopen('log.txt', 'a');
if ($handle) {
$logData = "\n\n----[" . date('Y-m-d') . ' ' . date('H:i:s') . "]-------------\n";
$logData .= $text;
fwrite($handle, $logData);
}
}
//file_put_contents("log_paypal.txt", print_r("POST: ".file_get_contents("php://input"), true));
//writeToLog("POST2: ".$_POST['payer_id']);
writeToLog("triggered");
//use PaypalIPN;
$ipn = new PaypalIPN();
// Use the sandbox endpoint during testing.
//$ipn->useSandbox();
$verified = $ipn->verifyIPN();
//writeToLog("triggered");
if (!$verified) {
writeToLog("VERIFIED");
/*

}
// Reply with an empty 200 response to indicate to paypal the IPN was received correctly.

This is what I keep seeing in IPN history:
