texte = Li,I'm having the exact same issue on my sites that use A/N. I've been roundand round with their tech support and I think we're just going to move to adifferent payment gateway. Here's what I've found out so far:1. Many people here (and I am one) are reporting that the variables passingto/from A/N are coming in hex-coded (%5d type of gibberish) fornon-alphabetic characters. Could the payment processor then not be able todecipher this stuff in order to make the transaction? I don't know.2. I was asked to submit the final page that normally goes tohttps://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll to go tohttp://www.sluggis.com/cgi-bin/echo.cgiThat page has a simple script on it that will show you your http headers andthe variables passed to it by your site. I was told that all my variablesare in perfect format but that the environmental variable of referring URLwas missing (it is blank on that sluggis page when I submit my carts to it).As you know, the referring URL must match the one that you have in yoursettings for the site on A/N. This, they told me, is why it is not working(suddenly).I have not changed code on my sites either, they worked fine with A/N for afew years now.The referring URL has always been a requirement for the relay-responsemethod that A/N uses (AFAIK). It was in use previously for my sites. Myobvious question that wasn't obvious to me at the moment is: this obviouslyused to post the referring URL, why would it not be now? A change in theircode? Nothing has changed on the servers per my webhost.I'd be interested (very) to know if you could post your cart to the sluggis(echo.cgi) link that I have above and tell me if your referring URL ispassing in the environmental variables.BTW, I'm open for suggestions on other payment gateway services that othersare using that plays well with WebDNA and whose code doesn't change suddenlybreaking everyone's site.Thanks,GK> I'm having the following problem with WebCatalog.>> Now when customers place an order, instead of getting a Thank You page> (authnetthanks.tpl) it returns an error:>> An error occurred while trying to report this transaction to the Merchant.> An e-mail has been sent to the merchant informing them of the error.
