Redirect not working from Paypal

Hi,

I have setup the IPN & Auto Return Integration functionality (and associated token) as per the instructions.

I enter the "http://www.mydomain.com/dev/?s2member_paypal_return=1" url into the paypal website payment settings as per the instructions provided by S2 Member but after processing a payment and clicking the send me back button I am redirected to the following address "http://www.paypal.com/dev/?s2member_paypal_return=1"

I brought this issue to Paypals attention asking why the absolute url I was providing was being used as a relative url and they responded as follows.

The return url must be an absolute url as there is no PayPal processing logic during that process.
Your return url has a query component in it thus making it a relative url and will will cause a problem .
In general "Absolute" is always better than "Relative", because there is no possibility for ambiguity.


Has this issue been encountered before? Is there a workaround?

Thanks for any guidance with this

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

It is the last step for me to complete a project. The members page can be viewed at http://www.prsss.ca/dev/members/ and the student level is currently set to charge for $0.05 for testing purposes.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Thanks
