Problem description:
I wasn't sure where to ask this, i felt this was the right place.

So, I've been looking at how to implement A.T.H.K's PayPal Shop code into a game of mine and I've managed to implement it quite well but I've come across an issue.

My issue is, when I try and access 'www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' in BYOND's browser, it says this: https://gyazo.com/7aa1d1dd71cca175ae8aa0009cbcda88

Anyone know if it's possible to access PayPal's webscr and if so how would i go about it?

Thanks!

Paypal won't load on older browsers for security reasons. You could try adding:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">


To the <head> portion of your HTML to force the browser into a newer version, but I'm unsure if Paypal will do any better there.

That didn't seem to work - http://imgur.com/a/xlUrt - Even when specifying the DOCTYPE.

Isn't it time we had a real browser?

Every previous attempt to implement something like CEF has resulted in nothing but a massive timesink with zero payoff. I can see why Lummox would be wary about it.

So there's no way around this I take it?
Not that I'm aware of, outside of loading it up in the external browser.
Would it be possible to pass necessary information across by loading it up in an external browser?

If you have another language on the other end I suppose you could pass a certain parameter to get the details of the item, however that means you need to update things in two places, the PayPal library at the moment has everything in one convenient spot.

There's no point using GET's as a user could easily change what you're passing, a POST would be the only way, again having to update things in two places, which can be a pain.
Could you give me some idea how i would do that? Or is this whole thing going to be a lost cause?

lmao me and my team did it in less than 30 minutes


obviously we try make it a child window and attach it, but byond kept being locked into trusted mode... so we make it a popup.

i should upload it for evidence but byond not give me enough space for cef


so why was there a massive time sink with zero pay off? why would lummox need to be weary about it beside needing to go a little out of your way for the sandbox to work

again.. first time using cef and finished in less than 30
