Hi Sean,
you were absolutely right.

>> To match that in HTTPAPI, use GET instead of POST there as well.

using  http_url_get_raw  fixed  the  problem,  thanks  for  your  fast
response

PS> If you are putting the https URL in your browser address bar and
PS> pressing enter, then you are using GET not POST.  To match that in
PS> HTTPAPI, use GET instead of POST there as well.

PS> I'm not familiar with Paypal API and didn't carefully look at
PS> your program, but it seems odd to me that Paypal would encourage
PS> the use of a password in a GET request.  That is not encrypted. 
PS> POST seems more likely as an expected method...

PS> So I guess all I'm saying is if I understood your question
PS> correctly, you're not doing the same thing in HTTPAPI as you are in the browser.

PS> Having said all that, I glanced back at your program.  I think
PS> the problem may relate to the formatting of your "data" variable. 
PS> POST data would (in my limited understanding) expect the "?" which
PS> separates the variables from the URI in a GET request.  The "&"
PS> may also be inappropriate, but others who have really done this
PS> would know better than I (especially after only 1 cup of coffee...)
