I am trying to use the PayPal button manager API. Everytime I run my file, regardless of call type, I get the following error output:
run:

Any help would be appreciated. I see that most people suggest trying to access the URL via a browser, which in my case works, just not when using my java class.
Thanks in advance! :D
