Why did I get result code -9?

Issue
PayPal returned result code -9 - SSL read failure.

Cause
The Payflow Pro client didn't receive the expected number of bytes returned from your server. This is usually due to Internet congestion.

Solution
Retry the transaction. If the problem persists, check with your hosting company or Internet Service Provider for possible network or connectivity issues.
