Hello,
I can't set a URL with authentication information as an IPN URL. The URL looks like http://user:password@www.mysite.com/path and when I save it in my profile a warning message appears telling me that the URL can't be saved.
So, why this kind of URL can't be used as an IPN URL ? I need it to contain some authentication information. Could the system support it ?
Thanks in advance.

There is obviously a regex on entering an IPN url containing the @ symbol. I don't know your reasons for having an IPN script behing a protected realm, but if PayPal would allow you to enter this url I can't see why it wouldn't work though it may cause problems when PayPal is seeking for a HTTP 200 response code?
You could try a %40 in replace of the @ symbol?
Good luck!

Marcus, thank you for your reply.
The at-sign should not be encoded in the URL form user:password@host.com/path, otherwise it is not interpreted as the separator between authentication information and host name (IE reports a syntax error when '@' is replaced with its URL-encoded equivalent code '%40').
Any other idea about specifying an IPN URL that contains authentication information ?
