PayPal Extension and Poodle (ssl socket issue) Dec 3, 2014 changes

[llegrand]

As some of us use PayPal,  I thought I would post this in regards to my notifications and testing.  I only use the PayPal Standart  extension, and that is what I have tested.  I can report that there is no issue with connecting to the PayPal accounts using the current extension for default_pp_standart.

Others will have to test the other extensions and please report your findings.

PayPal says:
 PayPal Users Must Discontinue Using SSL 3.0 By December 3, 2014

 If you are unsure whether you are using SSL 3.0 all you need to do is test your integration against the Sandbox. If you can make an API request, you are not using SSL 3.0, as this has already been disabled on the PayPal Sandbox, and you will experience no compatibility or security issues. If you are unsure how to test your integration against the Sandbox, please refer to the Merchant Response Guide for more details.

Thank you Lee. This is actually on my TODO list this week

To update on PayPal and SSL 3.0

There is no impact on AbanteCart. We use default SSL setting for curl connection.

I would recommend to check curl configuration on hosting to verify that SSL 3.0 is not used or forced.
