Your Landing Page URL
Your URL which we will use to send the incoming response should look som= ething like:
http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php
= =20i.e just a standard accessible script page.
Or if you also want to pass a variable back to be included with our requ= est:
http://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php?var1=3D10&am= p;var2=3D20&
=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 t= he incoming message has been delivered to your script. After 48 hours we wi= ll cease to continue.
