Changes

If ExportTicketWrapped succeeded, then the new http headers are passed: "X-Authentication-Key" set to base64(wrapped_aes_key) and "X-Authentication-Data" set to base64(crypted_ticket).

If ExportTicketWrapped succeeded, then the new http headers are passed: "X-Authentication-Key" set to base64(wrapped_aes_key) and "X-Authentication-Data" set to base64(crypted_ticket).

This (when activated server-side - gradually since 2018-8-9, it appears) would prevent downloading contents entirely (including [[TMD]]s) without a valid ticket.

==Server-side changes==

When 11.8.0-41 launched, the X-Authentication headers were not required; however, if they were indeed "voluntarily" sent, unsigned tickets would still have resulted in the download being blocked.

 

On 2018-8-9, at approximately the later half of 13h GMT, ticket-less downloads (of [[NCCH|contents]] as well as [[TMD]]s) started being blocked for a small number of titles, mainly 1st and 2nd party (but not their entirety: [https://gbatemp.net/threads/z.514370/page-12#post-8210076 list as of 2018-8-11])

 

The selection of affected titles appears to be manually maintained, and it is speculated (but not readily provable) that contractual limitations may influence Nintendo's ability to implement this change without consent of the original developers, hence the still very limited number of affected titles.
