So there is a well documented issue with people who have stale URL’s pointing to:
https://api-secure.recaptcha.net/challenge<etc,etc>
The new URL is supposed to be:
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/XXX
That’s all well and good, but I’m using Google’s reCaptcha library as described here:
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/java
You’ll notice the only version is 0.07 and uploaded in 2007, 4 years before the 2011 announcement of the URL change. There is no newer version of the library offered post 2011’s URL shift from what I can tell. Does anyone know of such a library for we lowly Java devs?
The solution is to do this:
Hope that helps someone who stumbles into this problem
