I'm working on a site that is running the lastest stable version + secure pages.
I'm getting this error when I attempt to use Google Checkouts newly released stable version. The button is clicked on the cart page.

The error is:

    * warning: fread(): SSL: fatal protocol error in /hsphere/local/home/mysitename/mysitename.org/includes/common.inc on line 479.
    * Malformed URL component: expected id: (\d{10})|(\d{15}), but got admin@mysitename.org

Did you happen to put "admin@mysitename.org" as your merchant ID? That's incorrect. When you sign up with Google Checkout, they should send you a 10 or 15 digit number as your ID, and an even longer alphanumeric string as your Key. The ID is part of the URL that the GCO button sends your cart to, that sounds like the source of the error.

The first part about SSL protocol is known bug with IIS. It's annoying, but harmless, so the module will be filtering it out as long as there aren't any other errors.
