title: How to solve "Cannot connect to server" message with wireless app distribution on iPhone iOS 4
body: <p>I found the pre-release docs for this at <a href="https://developer.apple.com/iphone/prerelease/library/featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html" rel="noreferrer">https://developer.apple.com/iphone/prerelease/library/featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html</a> (Developer account required)</p>
  
  <p>and some more at: <a href="http://jeffreysambells.com/posts/2010/06/22/ios-wireless-app-distribution/" rel="noreferrer">http://jeffreysambells.com/posts/2010/06/22/ios-wireless-app-distribution/</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm running into issues when I click on the link to the .plist file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&amp;url=https://www.server.edu/iphone/calcs.plist"&gt;Install My App over the air&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>-- the iOS4 device reports back:</p>
  
  <p>Cannot connect to www.server.edu</p>
  
  <p>Server names intentionally obscured</p>
  
  <p>Obviously the device can connect to the server otherwise i wouldn't be able to see the page that has the link...</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
