The updated PHP code will also verify that the package-url can be accessed, and issue an email receipt (or alerts) if a mailto: address is specified in the appropriate data element.

Those interested is testing the new PHP server code to validate PENS client commands should contact tom.king@aicc.org. Note that the HTML test harness has not been updated at this time, the update available for testing only impacts the PHP code used to validate inbound PENS commands.
