Switch from sandbox to production gets HTML 406 response

PDow — Fri, 19 May 2017 20:11:17 GMT

This is on an IBM i at v5r4 using RPGXML from Krengeltech and an RPGLE program.

It worked fine in the sandbox, but when we changed the URI to production and started using our production credentials, we get an HTTP 406 Not acceptable response. Here's the log from RPGXML:

I forgot to mention that we solved the 406 response, which was caused by having

Accept: text/xml

that prevented my end from receiving the XML that authorize.net was sending. Once I changed it to

Accept: */*

we started getting the HTML which showed the "unanticpated error".

Hi @PDow,

Do any other transaction types produce a different response? For example, if you don't try the customer profile, but just try to send a dummy card number do you get the same thing?

If you deliberately send bad credentials, do you get an authentication error? Or the same html page?

I'm having the same issue with getTransactionRequest, but on the sandbox credentials. I'm just trying a simple lookup through postman. Has this been resolved if so how?
