            Your certificate will probably contain the private key. Open it
            with any text editor, it should be plain text (PEM format). The
            certificate is enclosed in ``BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE`` strings and

            not available anymore, probably because application was
            uninstalled. You have to stop sending notifications to that device
            token unless it has been re-registered since reported timestamp.
            
            Unlike sending the message, you should fetch the feedback using
            non-cached connection. Once whole feedback has been read, this
            method will automatically close the connection.

            .. note::
                On any IO/SSL error this method will simply stop iterating and
                will close the connection. There is nothing you can do in case
                of an error. Just let it fail, next time yo uwill fetch the
                rest of the failed tokens.

            Example::

                con = Session.new_connection("feedback_production", cert_string=db_certificate)
