proxy server connection broken

Post by mrmedia »

It seems that wine broke the ability to connect to a proxy server.
Has anyone else noticed this?

i.e. after establishing a proxy connection on my linux platform to another server ...... ' ssh -o "ServerAliveInterval 60" -D portnumber user@ipaddress'

I used to and ought to be able to connect whilst running metatrader4
Tools -> options -> enable proxy server -> "localhost:portnumber"

But is currently broken. I thought it may have been the build of metatrader4, but seems more likely that it is wine.

i.e. after upgrading wine, i found because of some changes that I could not run metatrader4. screens missing and perhaps a font issue too.
It was easy enough to create a new bottle for the latest wine version and not install corefonts and just install mfc42.dll.

I am running wine-1.3.32 but perhaps the proxy connection stopped working around about wine-1.3.28 ????
