Basically, nothing happened, I'm not sure my dreamhack even tried to use Gearman. Is there something I could do that would definitely use Gearman, that doesn't involve making an electronic payment? The problem is that I've hacked the payments system in an attempt to get it to accept an unvalidated credit card. It isn't working, but that could either be because Gearman doesn't work, or just due to my bull-in-a-china-shop approach to trying to hack the payments system.

The output in the browser (http://www.anarres.dreamhack.afunamatata.com/shop/creditcard_wait?ordernum=39-qm3qp4zf4qnxw36x56m9&cctransid=24) is:

Internal Failure
We're sorry, but something failed internally on our end attempting to process your payment. Your credit card has probably not been charged.

Here's the output:
