iTunes report a concern

Published Categorized as podcasting

update: 22/09; concern reported, feature now works. 🙂  

i was trying to report a concern about a podcast in the iTunes store. but in iTunes 6 & 7 the ‘report a concern’ link was broken.

solution:-

link was
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/reportPodcast?id=SOME_ID
which fails

but
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/reportPodcast?id=SOME_ID
worx….

so enter it (with correct podcast ID) into firefox or other and it will launch iTunes 🙂 happy days

apple bug hunters: its the HyperText Transport Protocol (Secure) thats the fix.

tp ping a podcast in iTunes it does not use https

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=SOME_ID

which is an excellent way to find out the source rss feed url, ping the apple podcast id

and the resulting ping results tell you the location of the real feed.
