Here is a description about the protocol that is used when iTunes requests the SHSH certificate from Apple. For details about what this is used for, please see the main article SHSH.

This is a simple HTTP (POST) request and answer. You can retry this via a Telnet session or similar. The destination host is gs.apple.com (IP 17.112.176.11) and runs on the common HTTP port 80. The data is plaintext and not encoded in any way. For details about the HTTP protocol itself, please see RFC2616.
