Https Client and Embedded PayPal Button

Stew MacLean

Hi all,

 

I’m thinking about how to receive payment and I’m looking at PayPal.

 

What I would like to do is embed a dynamically created button within my Order (which is embedded in my program).

 

After a brief investigation it looks like I would need to post a form using https to the PayPal server.

 

I would appreciate any comments on the feasibility of this idea.

 

Thanks,

 

Stewart

Posting a form with the VW client libs is simple.  The blog posting tool I
use does something very much like that every time I push a post to the server.

Hi Stuewart

 

Load the package WebSupport this extends the http client with a class called WebClient. WebClient has a utility method:

 

post: anURL formData: aDict

            "Send url encoded form data as prescribed by http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4"

 

We use it all the time and it is as simple as it looks.

Thanks, however it was the SSL bit I was wondering about, and whether
this was a feasible way of interfacing to PayPal.

Cheers,

Stewart

Hi Joerg,

 

Yes I’ve used the SimpleSMTPClient to good effect. However I was primarily concerned about SSL, and if this would work interfacing to PayPal.

 

Thanks,

 

Stewart

WebClient is a subclass of HttpClient and that one can do both http and
https, so you should be fine.
