https://test.authorize.net/ been down for last week plus??

[jhoven]

Hello,

I haven't been able to post to https://test.authorize.net/ (SIM) for at least a week now.  At first I thought the site may have been temporarily down. 

Everything looks OK posting to https://developer.authorize.net/tools/paramdump/index.php and my x_fp_hash verifies against the response 99 tool https://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode99/. 

According to chrome the error is:  Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/ says the test system is UP.

I believe I should be seeing error codes to my relay if the system is up (no?).    Anyone else experiencing the same or has there been some breaking chang to the SIM post method in the last 4 months?

Additionally I've gotten a new loin and transaction key and tried using the sample code which doesn't work either:

<%

using (Html.BeginSIMForm("http://anywhere.but.here", 1.99M, "newlogin", "newtransactionkey", true))

{%>

<h3>test</h3>

<%= Html.CheckoutFormInputs(true)%>

<%=Html.Hidden("order_id", "1234")%> 

<inputtype="submit"value="Pay"/>

<% }%>

Have you tested with another browser? If that fails, can you test with another computer (preferably on a different network)?

If it's restricted to your computer, then there are several things to try:

1. Try clearing your cache.

2. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

3. Turn off any antivirus program, just to make sure there's not an incompatibility.

4. Reset your router and/or modem.

If that doesn't work, you can reset winsock using:

netsh winsock reset

Then reboot the computer.

Ended up, apparently, being web sense at my organization.
