Your Landing Page URL
Your URL which we will use to send the incoming response should look something like:
http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php
i.e just a standard accessible script page.
Or if you also want to pass a variable back to be included with our request:
http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php?var1=10&var2=20&
Note the & at the end of your custom parameters.
In the event we cannot connect to your script, we will keep retrying the URL for 48 hours. Once we receive a valid HTTP 200 header we assume that the incoming message has been delivered to your script. After 48 hours we will cease to continue.
