Since you mentioned "work around" I am assuming that this has something to do with installing/using a program. How about providing the following:
1. Program name and version.
2. Linux/UNIX name and distribution name/version (for example: Ubuntu 11.04/Natty).
Thank you.

HTTPS doesn't work (or works poorly) in wine without native wininet. But now if you do that, it fails elsewhere.

Easy to reproduce, do "winetricks wininet" and "wine iexplore"

I tried to install IE8 first. Worked ok. Then wininet. It didn't work anymore.

I have Ubuntu 11.04. Everything worked 1.3.1x

delphi make sure you have openssl providing the tls not gnutls.

Because that increased number of sites that work with wine own wininet.

Really fixing wine own wininet should be the target. There is no real focus that is going to go into fixing so winetricks hack of wininet works.

Yes, installing native DLLs is dangerous and can break things.

Wine's goal is to run without any native Microsoft dlls. It'll be a while before
we get there, but progress is being made.

Any app that requires 'winetricks wininet' should have a bug filed so we can improve
wine's implementation.

My point is that, if native wininet breaks things, then current implementation is obviously incorrect.

There are open wininet HTTPS issues in bugzilla.

delphi in fact no installing native wininet breaking things does not show that the current implementation is incorrect.

It may display a bug fixme:urlmon:create_object Could not find object for MIME L"application/x-gzip-compressed" that is a feature not supported in a dll. If an application other than wininet does not require it then it may never be required.

But proves nothing about the wine implementation of wininet. Since that dll does not have to use windows parts to perform it tasks.

Basically your idea of it is wrong.

What app is this workaround for? The place to report a workaround no longer working is the AppDB, ideally by updating the howto, but if you're not the maintainer, submit a test report with the relevant information.

No. Wine is not meant to work with native dlls, and problems caused by using them are not Wine bugs. If you filed a bug for this, it would be closed as invalid.

Hi,

I'm trying to make League of Legends work flawlessly and the more winely way possible. This said, I'd been playing around with ie6 and wininet. What this guy is trying to say is that now both of them don't seem to work together okey.

Before wine 1.3.21 you can do

Code: Select all

winetricks ie6 wininet
wine iexplore

and it worked. Now it seems to be broken in some scenarios.

Now, completly OT, if someone knows how to remove this warnings with out winetricking wininet, I will love you very much =) (they prevent some webs from loading, ever)

Code: Select all

fixme:wininet:URLCache_FindFirstFreeEntry Grow file
err:wininet:CommitUrlCacheEntryInternal no free entries

[/code]

Are you sure the recent LoL breakage is wine's fault?
I believe it started when they patched the game to use a different
autoupdater; see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=19141

This is what we call a regression bug. However, did you try this
WITHOUT adding winetricks wininet with the latest development version of
Wine?
