Netscape Technical Issues - November 20, 2001
Netscape has recently released Version 6.2, which we have confirmed will
work correctly with InternetSecure, our Secure Payment Processor.
According to the engineers at Netscape, versions 6.x and 6.1 use a different encryption algorithm.
This algorithm interferes with most online banking software including InternetSecure's payment
processing gateway. We found that customers using Netscape 6.x or 6.1 are encountering errors when
attempting to purchase from an InternetSecure merchant. Most commonly, a customer will complete the
first page of the InternetSecure order form pages and then will receive a notice stating:
We Cannot Process Your Transaction.
Cannot find one or any of these variables:
MerchantNumber, Products, ReturnURL or ReturnCGI.
To ensure smooth operation when purchasing from InternetSecure, Netscape 6.x and 6.1 users should
upgrade to Version 6.2.
Netscape 6.x or 6.1 - Technical Issues - September 27, 2001
We have recently been informed that customers using Netscape 6.x or 6.1 are encountering errors when
attempting to purchase from an InternetSecure merchant. Most commonly, a customer will complete the
first page of the InternetSecure order form pages and then will receive a notice stating:
We Cannot Process Your Transaction.
Cannot find one or any of these variables:
MerchantNumber, Products, ReturnURL or ReturnCGI.
According to the engineers at Netscape, the newest versions of their internet browser; Netscape 6.0
and higher, use a different encryption algorithm. Unfortunately this algorithm interferes with most
online banking software including InternetSecure's payment processing gateway. Netscape recognizes the
issue and is working to correct it.
Some banks, such as CIBC have issued a statement advising their users "not to upgrade".
Netscape 6.x users may phone their orders to: 1-905-277-4171
We will keep you posted with any new developments from Netscape. Please feel free to contact our
Sales Dept. if you have any
questions or concerns.
