PayPal Error (35) error:1408F10B SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

Today's PayPal issue has nothing whatsoever to do with what browser is being used.

Still reading through the thread; however, one individual that has reached out to me and spoken with their host has indicated that the host has disabled IE from reaching the site. If in fact it is not specifically browser related it would be good to let the host's know that.. Sorry, it would be good for the host's to not respond as if it is specifically a specific browser related issue...

I repeat. Today's PayPal issue has nothing to do with what browser is used. ALL of the PayPal communications discussed here are done via CURL (where CURL is the "browser" that PHP is using to connect to PayPal to broker the payment on behalf of the customer in-real-time). So it doesn't matter what browser you or your customer is using as far as making these PayPal transactions within your Zen Cart store.

As for other ways that SSL might affect hosts and sites, that's a completely separate topic, and should be discussed with hosting companies in their support tickets.
If a shopowner wants their SSL on their website to be "most compatible" with all browsers, they need to ensure that their hosting company and/or server administrator is indeed using the latest versions of applications on the server, including webserver and encryption and ssl and so on ... ie: be current. All of that is entirely unrelated to this PayPal issue today and unrelated to any configurations one can do to the Zen Cart software itself.

I also use standard and haven't seemed to notice any issues, however (might be coincidence) but today I'm noticing more people arriving at checkout confirmation but not completing checkout, therefore I have commented out the line as recommended. I will post back if I notice any negative impact.

Hope that helps answer questions for those who are curious.

Perfect. Thanks guys. I was planning on using wireshark over the weekend to see exactly what was going on with the various options/settings myself. You've saved me a lot of time :)

ZenCart really is the best. Not one of the other ecommerce forums I frequent come close to the speed and detail provided regarding this issue. (I suspect that's why PayPal have given a temporary reprieve - All of the other eCommerce systems are still looking for a solution, and I'll wager that none of them will provide the 'techie' info that you have.

Supurb!!

Yupp.. True dat!!!
**nods in agreement**

Man it's getting scary how sympatico you and I have been as of late..

TNX guys.

Authorize.net implemented the SSLv3 checks yesterday and the fix worked like a charm.

I wonder if this file needs to be changed in the current Download version of ZenCart? It still says "3" on the CURLOPT_SSLVERSION. I started getting errors today. Found this thread. Changed it to 4. I hope that fixes it.

[swguy]

Rather than hardcoding 4, the recommended fix is to comment out the SSLVERSION, as noted in post 1 of this thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...yment-security

[daffy]

Ok, thanks. I'll do that.

Is anyone else getting errors like; (6) name lookup timed out or other similar timeout errors with Paypal Pro (paypaldp)?
