The long awaited iTunes Store fix! This now allows you to go to the iTunes Store.

The original problem was caused by a malformed URL from Apple.

For the record, apple seems to thing that itunes.apple.com. is a valid URL (note the period on the end of .com?)

Anyways, the NetSentron has been adjusted to deal with malformed URL’s now.
