Uploading XML to ITunes U

Question

On page 140 of http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/iTunesUAdministratio nGuide.pdf
it says
To upload your document to an iTunes U server:
1. Generate an authorization token from your new or updated transfer script. For details, see “Generating
the Token Data” (page 41).
2. Request an upload URL from iTunes U, using the authorization token from step 1. For example, type:
/usr/bin/curl
https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetUploadURL/example.edu.1.2.3?
credentials=foo&identity=user&time=123456&signature=abc123abc123&type=XMLControl File
The text example.edu.1.2.3 is the iTunes U value for the folder destination on the iTunes U site where
you want to upload the document. It is recommended that you use the root folder of your site as the
destination. An HTTP POST or GET performed on the finished URL returns another URL.
3. Upload your document to iTunes U as an HTTP file-upload POST to the final URL created in step 2.
I followed step one
and got

I created this XML document
<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>
<ITunesUDocument>
<Version>1.1.4</Version>
<ShowTree>
<KeyGroup>maximal</KeyGroup>
</ShowTree>
</ITunesUDocument>
When I do /usr/bin/curl -F file=@/pathtofile.xml -s <urlfrom_step2>
I either get an error or nothing returns. Where do I see the output?

Answer 1

Thanks for trying to help me.
I am trying to accomplish page 140 and 141 of
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/iTunesUAdministratio nGuide.pdf
The goal I understand I want to reach is to finish these 4 steps.
1) Create a simple XML document to upload
2) Generate an authorization token and request an upload URL
3) The upload URL does not have "/Core.woa/API/ProcessWebServicesDocument/" in it so I need to replace it.
String processUploadURL = results.Replace("/Files.woa/Upload/", "/Core.woa/API/ProcessWebServicesDocument/");
4) Use Curl with the xml file and URL
curl -F file=@/pathtofile.xml -s <urlfrom_step3>
Step 1.
<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>
<ITunesUDocument>
<Version>1.1.4</Version>
<ShowTree>
<KeyGroup>maximal</KeyGroup>
</ShowTree>
</ITunesUDocument>
Step 2.

Step 4

Two questions
1) Are my steps correct?
2) When I mannually copy the output from step 4, I see
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3GET_SERVERCERTIFICATE:certificate verify fail
d
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
