ASP Classic IPN listener worked and now doesn't

I have had this code working for 6 months. Now, it stopped working. I have spent 2 days on PayPal support, Stackoverflow q/a, Google... I hope honestly this isn't a repeat question but I have searched truthfully for 2 days on Stackoverflow and haven't found an answer.

With local testing it produces a 200 answer and INVALID which is perfect for the sandbox. When I go to the IPN Simulator on PayPal it always returns red. Help me Obi Wan Kanobi => You're my only hope! Thank you for any help possible.

My reduced code is:

   paypal_url = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

   strResponse = "cmd=_notify-validate&" & Request.Form

   set objHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP")  
   objHttp.open "POST", paypal_url, false  
   objHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"  
   objHttp.Send strResponse

   if (objHttp.status <> 200 ) then  
      str = "ERROR 200"  
   elseif (objHttp.responseText = "VERIFIED") then  
      str = "VERIFIED"  
   elseif (objHttp.responseText = "INVALID") then  
      str = "INVALID"  
   else  
      str = "ERROR GENERAL"  
   end if  

   set objHttp = nothing

I'm pretty sure the IPN simulator isn't working. I created a script with this:

<?php
    date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
    ini_set('error_log', 'ipn_errors.log');
    $fp = fopen('.log', "a");
    fwrite($fp, date("\tY-m-d H:i:s") . "\n");
    foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
        fwrite($fp, "$key\t$value\n");
    }
    fwrite($fp, "--\n");
    fclose($fp);

    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
?>

And pointed the IPN simulator to it. It is not writing to .log; it is not being called.
