Are Outgoing HTTP Connections Allowed?

I use the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) feature to get alerted by PayPal when a new transaction has processed.

What happens is:

* User purchases something on my site using a PayPal form
* PayPal sends IPN to a URL of my site
* My site creates an outgoing HTTP POST to PayPal with some information
* My site activates the user

I've heard that providers such as GoDaddy provide a proxy for these types of tasks.
Is that required with dASP, or can I just make the outgoing request from my site without any type of proxy?

Thanks!
Chris

 

Thanks Bruce-

For anyone else who may run in to this, I can confirm that IPN requests behave as expected and can be validated/verified from dASP hosted sites.
