SpotPass: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

SpotPass Internet communications are mostly small UDP frames and HTTPS transfers, the only HTTP download is the connection test page.

With the [[2.0.0-2]] update, SpotPass now regularly requests content over HTTPS from nppl.c.app.nintendowifi.net and sometimes nasc.nintendowifi.net. These are probably related to the ~~automatic system updates/~~SpotPass automatic software download functionality. Going by the domain names, nppl* might be for SpotPass software downloads~~, while nasc* might be for auto updates~~?(Which domain is used for what exactly isn't confirmed yet)

In System Settings, you can disable SpotPass content downloading,(this is _only_ for free titles etc not auto system updates) but it states that important software will still downloaded. This is likely why SpotPass still connects to nppl* and nasc* even with that option disabled.

With the [[2.0.0-2]] update, system updates updates are automatically downloaded via SpotPass. It only downloads updates, it will not install updates without the user's permission. See this: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/3ds/en_na/menu_update.jsp

~~No success with capturing this auto dl so far~~.

SpotPass downloads/checks for updates at an unknown interval. This is basically identical to the system used before for manual system updates: when it's time to check for updates, SpotPass will simultaneously send a system update SOAP request to the server, and also request from nppl*.(nppl* is likely unrelated)

When there's an update available, SpotPass will then download the tmd/ticket over HTTPS and content over HTTP.(like usual)
