How to send the user directly to the review page on The App Store?

ios ios6 app-store review

Up to now (with iOS < 6.0), I used the following URL and code to send the user directly to the review page of my app (to rate it with 5 stars and post a friendly comment :)):

NSString *stringUrl = @"http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?id=XXXXXXXX&pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software&mt=8";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringUrl];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

This code doesn't work anymore when I run my app on a device with iOS 6 (and the new appstore of iOS 6). The appstore opens but then I have got an alert saying "Cannot connect to Appstore".

Anybody knows how to send the user directly to the review page of the Appstore on iOS 6 ? (note that I know how to send the user on the description of my app by this not what I want !)

Thanks !

Use url like this

https://userpub.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZUserPublishing.woa/wa/addUserReview?type=Purple+Software&id=561892747&mt=8&o=i

I found it on a link to "write a review" in Apple receipt email.
