We set up a PayPal express checkout about 2 weeks ago which worked perfectly until a couple of days ago it didn't. On PayPal the transactions is ok but when I try to log in with cURL to check the transaction the inital merchant/client login fails but cURL shows no error. I know that PayPal is upgrading to TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 but I did the test check were our server/site passed.
This is how I initated the communication with paypal (this worked until now):
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'CLIENT_ID:SECRET');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'grant_type=client_credentials');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Now if I print out $result its empty, if I print out curl_errno its 0 and curl_error also empty
so because of TLS 1.2 I modified the code like this
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 6);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'CLIENT_ID:SECRET');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'grant_type=client_credentials');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
but it fails exactly the same as the previous code.
What could be the problem? or is it possible that if the login is ok the result is empty?
