~~Surprisingly~~, ~~Nintendo Video uses plain unencrypted HTTP connection to transfer videos~~. ~~When "Connectivity check" button is pressed, Nintendo Video sends~~ a ~~following HTTP request~~ to ~~pubeu-p~~.~~est.c.app.nintendowifi.net~~:

To identify your 3DS's region and country, different URLs are requested by 3DS's from different countries. A URL contains a subdomain that's specific for your region (EU/USA/JP) and a country code that's specific to your country. Here's a table containing country codes and subdomains known so far:

In all requests below, ''COUNTRYCODE'' should be replaced with your country's code and ''COUNTRYSUBDOMAIN'' should be replaced with your region's subdomain.

~~As you can see~~, ~~no console-specific data~~ is ~~being sent. The server respons with either a 403 or 404 error code~~, ~~where 403 means that user's region is not allowed to use~~ Nintendo Video ~~(the region is mot likely determined by IP address) and 404 means that everything~~'~~s OK~~.

Surprisingly, Nintendo Video uses plain unencrypted HTTP connection to transfer videos. When "Connectivity check" button is pressed, Nintendo Video sends a following HTTP request to ''COUNTRYSUBDOMAIN''.est.c.app.nintendowifi.net:

~~If everything is OK with the region check, the 3DS proceeds to download videos~~. ~~It seems that support for only four videos is hardcoded into Nintendo Video~~ app~~, because it makes following requests (to the same server as the CHECK query):~~

<tt>GET /1/''COUNTRYCODE''/1/CHECK HTTP/1.1

Host: ''COUNTRYSUBDOMAIN''.est.c.app.nintendowifi.net</tt>

As you can see, no console-specific data is being sent. The server respons with either a 403 or 404 error code, where 403 means that user's region (determined by IP, I guess) doesn't match the region specified by ''COUNTRYCODE'' and 'COUNTRYSUBDOMAIN' and 404 means that everything's OK.

~~<tt>GET /1/110/1/ESP_MD1 HTTP/1~~.1

If everything is OK with the region check, the 3DS proceeds to download videos. It seems that support for only four videos is hardcoded into Nintendo Video app, because it makes following requests (to the same server as the CHECK query):

~~ESP_MD~~''i'' seems to return 403 if user's region is not allowed, 404 if ''i''th video doesn't exist and the video itself otherwise. As of 18th of July 2011, only 1st and 2nd videos are available from UK IP addresses.
