Hello Monks!

Do any of you have any experience with PayPal's IPN?

If so, can you please answer me this question....

In there example Perl Script to use, it ends this way:
print "content-type: text/plain\n\nOK\n";

[download]

Do I just leave that? OR do I have it parse all the information, after it verifies payment from PayPal, then if there is an error, do I have the script PRINT the error?

Or since this is posted from PayPal, where the customer cannot see it, do I just leave the code above?


Thank you Monks, for any wisdom you may share in this regard!

thx,
Richard
