IAP Ticket Verification API not working in production mode

[derconny]

Here is the corrected code that I'm now successfully using with Django/Python. Maybe it will help somebody.

def nokia_ticket_is_valid(ticket):
    """ Sends the ticket to Nokia to see if it is valid """
    
    validationRequest  = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>' 
    validationRequest += '<PurchaseVerificationRequest xmlns="http://payment.ovi.com/iap">'
    validationRequest += '<Binary>'
    validationRequest += ticket
    validationRequest += '</Binary>'
    validationRequest += '</PurchaseVerificationRequest>'
    
    headers = {'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'charset': 'UTF-8'}
    body = urllib.urlencode({'content': validationRequest})
    
    conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection('payment.ovi.com')
    conn.request('POST',
                 'https://payment.ovi.com/iap/1.0/purchases/verify?method=GET',
                 body,
                 headers)
    response = conn.getresponse()
    
    if response.status == 200:
        # Check data (must contain OK)
        xml_data = response.read()
        root_element = fromstring(xml_data)
        result = root_element.attrib.get("result")

        if result == 'OK':
            return True, result
        else:
            return False, result
    else:
        return False, 'Http response ' + str(response.status)

i think the difference you observed is coincident - please check other symbols that may happen in Base64

Using standard Base64 in URL requires encoding of '+', '/' and '=' characters into special percent-encoded hexadecimal sequences ('+' = '%2B', '/' = '%2F' and '=' = '%3D') ...wikipedia

You're right. That why I now encode the whole body using urlencode

body = urllib.urlencode({'content': validationRequest})
