Using CiviCRM 4.3.5 - I wasn't sure from the documentation and CiviCRM 'Demo', but it seems that in order to 'test' a payment processor such as Authorize.net or PayPal.com with a 'sandbox' or 'test' url, one has to have set up and paid for a SSL certificate likfe from Verisign, first, right? b/c the transaction is going over httpS.
  And, the 'dummy' processor that is configured as an example in Payment Processors will not process payments, right? I selected the dummy processor for an Event but just get an error message indicating that I need to a valid configure a payment processor.
I configured a test processor for Authorize but since  I haven't bought & configured a Verisign account at this point, I can't really test credit-card payment handling.
