My processor allows for a form submission to their web server via https and returns any one of a set of predefined responses. Assuming I had a method for an application to open a SSL connection to their server; send a POST request with form variables; wait for a response; and do something depending on the response... I'm not sure how that could be a world of hurt.The reason that this has to be something in the middle between the user and authorization server, is that there is merchant identifying values that the end user should never see or even be aware of. Likewise, the response is a code and not suitable for immediate delivery to the browser.But thanks for the suggestion. _________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century http://www.west21.com/ _________________________________________________ ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
