IPN Operations on PayPal
Resending IPN Messages
When the message has been sent, your server’s response to the HTTP POST is used to update
the HTTP response code field. A value of 200 indicates that your server successfully received
the IPN message. Other values typically indicate a server configuration error for the server that
hosts your IPN listener. For more information about these codes, see
RFC 2616: Hypertext
Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1. If you do not see a response code, you should check that your
sever is running.
