What happened?
Good evening, thank you again for this awesome project and to keep it alive and well!
I'm trying to download an app with the following command:
$ ipatool --keychain-passphrase secret --verbose --non-interactive --format json download --purchase -i 409157308 -o /tmp/
{"level":"debug","error":"failed to send http request: failed to unmarshal xml: plist: error parsing text property list: unexpected hex digit `!' at line 0 character 2","time":"2026-02-18T20:55:09Z"}
{"level":"error","error":"failed to send http request: failed to unmarshal xml: plist: error parsing text property list: unexpected hex digit `!' at line 0 character 2","success":false,"time":"2026-02-18T20:55:09Z"}
It would be great to be able to enable trace logs for snet and received HTTP messages.
However, I used gdb to get a dump of the response:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "HelveticaNeue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 200;
line-height: 20px;
color: #4c4c4c;
text-align: center;
}
.section {
margin-top: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="section">
<h1></h1>
<h3>Bad Gateway</h3>
<p>Correlation Key: REDACTED</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>The response StatusCode is 502 and the inputs for the request generating function shall generate a request similar to the following:
curl -X POST "https://p72-buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/volumeStoreDownloadProduct?guid=REDACTED" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-apple-plist" \
-H "X-Dsid: REDACTED" \
-H "X-Apple-Store-Front: 143441-1,34" \
-H "X-Token: REDACTED" \
-d '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<key>appExtVrsId</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>extVrsId</key>
<string>0</string>
</dict>
</plist>'
Strangely this is happening most of the times I try to download any app. Every now and then it goes through and I get a valid response that allow me to complete the download.
It would be nice to understand why this happens, perhaps a bug in the new Anisette authentication / redirect?
If there is a way to enable HTTP trace it would be easier to spot the differences between accepted and rejected requests.
Thank you for all the hard work!
