Tim Jasko · Answer

What are you using to connect to paypal cfhttp or something more involved

Sravani · Answer

Using cfhttp only

Tim Jasko · Answer

If it involved one of the cf packages I was going to recommend removing it and reinstalling it We ve had to do that frequently keep things functional on our end ever since Update3

Tim Jasko · Answer

But have been seeing other random failures as well so it wouldn t surprise me if that s going on with you too

May I know the version of JDk you are using

Sravani · Answer

Yes other cfhttp also failed some times

Sravani · Answer

< sandip halder> Java Version 11 0 1

Tim · Answer

oh there were some bugs in 11 0 1 and 11 0 2 surrounding certificate algorithms that led to some really weird behaviors with cfhttp I would upgrade to a newer java

Sravani · Answer

Thanks < Tim> do we need to update it to 11 0 3

Tim · Answer

at least 11 0 14 is the latest
