 * We just began getting 403 errors back from PayPal IPN.. Presumably this is our
   IPN echo back to PayPal because I’m getting a validation failed debug email.
 * The response array shows it as a 403, but I got a receipt from PayPal that the
   transaction went through.
 * We rely on the IPN coming through successfully to trigger order confirmation 
   and notification emails to the customer and the staff. Not sure if maybe this
   is related to the http 1.1 change that was pushed out in the latest version or
   what.. The host (site ground) supports http 1.1, so not sure if that’s it or 
   not.
 * Last successful IPN hit on May 7 (it’s now the 11th).
    First validation failed
   came through on May 9.
 * [Edit]: Looks like the plugin was updated on May 8… I’ll try rolling back to 
   the previous version and see what happens.

 * For anyone looking for resolution to 403’s in the PayPal IPN, this SO answer 
   resolved it for me: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26013941/why-do-i-keep-getting-a-403-forbidden-with-paypal](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26013941/why-do-i-keep-getting-a-403-forbidden-with-paypal)
 * May be good to include this in the code. Not sure what might trigger the issue
   since seemingly no one else here has been complaining about it.
