Rails - Aug 2008 - PayPal IPN without activemerchant, please.

Please could someone explain the communication with PayPal for IPN
without activemerchant plugin. I couldn''t get that to work. It should
be
a matter of a few lines of code so why use a plugin.

This is what I have:

@query = ''cmd=_notify-validate''
request.params.each_pair {|key, value| @query = @query +
''&'' + key + ''=''
+ value.first if key !=
''register/pay_pal_ipn.html/pay_pal_ipn'' }
http = Net::HTTP.new(''www.sandbox.paypal.com'', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
http.ca_file = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/lib/paypal/paypal_cert.pem"

What about this setup? Is it ok? Please, could someone help?

The log says it can''t verify the certficate and if I take that away I
get "Errno::ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)"

Btw, I don''t have SSL on our server, yet.

I get "certificate verify failed". Do I really need a certificate on
