paypal https request

[garry slacker]

Hey Guys,

not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so if not let me
know, also apologies if it turns out to be something very obvious.

I am trying to call the paypal adaptive payments api via node.js and
am getting a 580001 invalid request error. I can make a successfull
call via curl with the below message and headers, but not through
node.

any help would be much appreciated.

var API_endpoint = "svcs.sandbox.paypal.com";
var API_user = '';
var API_pass = '';
var API_sig = '';


message='requestEnvelope.errorLanguage=en_US&actionType=PAY&senderEmail=test_1320...@gmail.com&receiverList.receiver(0).email=test2_1320...@gmail.com&
receiverList.receiver(0).amount=100.00&currencyCode=USD&cancelUrl=http://
your_cancel_url& returnUrl=http://your_return_url'

//var params = qs.parse(message);
//params = qs.stringify(params);

var req_options = {
host: API_endpoint,
method: 'POST',
path: '/AdaptivePayments/Pay',
headers: {
'Host': API_endpoint,
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
//'Content-Type': 'text/namevalue',
'Content-Length': message.length,
'X-PAYPAL-REQUEST-DATA-FORMAT:':'NV',
'X-PAYPAL-RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT':'NV',
'X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-USERID':API_user,
'X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-PASSWORD':API_pass,
'X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-SIGNATURE':API_sig,
'X-PAYPAL-APPLICATION-ID':'APP-80W284485P519543T'
}
}

fs.readFile('/home/dev/.ssh/sandbox-paypal-private.pem', 'ascii',
function(err, key){
fs.readFile('/home/dev/.ssh/sandbox-paypal-public.pem',
'ascii', function(err, cert){
req_options.key=key
req_options.cert=cert
var req = https.request(req_options, function(res){
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' +
JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.on('data', function(d){
var response = d.toString();
console.log(response)
});
});
req.write(message);
req.end();

req.on('error', function request_error(e) {
console.log(e);
});
});
});

Hi,

Because default Agent ignores key and cert,
you should use a custom Agent.

var req_options = {
...
};
req_options.agent = new https.Agent(req_options);

thanks for the reply!

i have made the changes but still getting the same error, I've been looking at the returned res from the https.request for a clue as to why it's not connecting, but not sure what to look for. The response from paypal is

responseEnvelope.timestamp=2011-11-11T20%3A12%3A51.332-08%3A00&responseEnvelope.ack=Failure&responseEnvelope.correlationId=a895d3bb9728a&responseEnvelope.build=2228340&error(0).errorId=580001&error(0).domain=PLATFORM&error(0).subdomain=Application&error(0).severity=Error&error(0).category=Application&error(0).message=Invalid+request%3A+%7B0%7D

im guesing the this means paypal is not receiving any values at all, as the converted hex in error(0).message reads : {0}
