i took the example implementation of the IPN handler from paypals official website
now this worked very well in the beginning. But the answers got slower and slower. For a while they worked fine with 20 seconds delay. Now I am getting no traffic at all for minutes. What is going on? maybe is the sandbox ipn handler of paypal themselves close to be down? they have a bad setup?
I want to mention this post (it kinda shed some light)
note i get not even an initial log. Paypal seems to not call my side at all any longer.
The IPN is callable, i can call it from, say an incognito window, and it will write to the logfile.
for completeness, here my file:
<?php
