This is the documentation provided by the payments company: " *The IPN protocol consists of three steps:*
1. Payson sends your IPN listener a message that notifies you of the event. 2. Your listener sends the complete unaltered message back to Payson; the message must contain the same parameters in the same order and be encoded in the same way as the original message. 3. Payson sends a single word back, which is either VERIFIED if the message originated from Payson or INVALID if there is any discrepancy with what was originally sent. " I am by no means an experienced web developer so I might have misunderstood something, but I figured I need to do something like the following; message = request.vars request = urllib2.Request(cmd, message) response = urllib2.urlopen(request) . The problem here is that message needs to be a string so the first line is obviously not correct. What could I do instead?
