Silverlight apps fail to access internet: error HttpWebRequest_WebException_RemoteServer

Post by wineroxx »

Hi!

I'm running an app (32bit) in Wine 7.7 (using Win10 for the bottle) on macOS 14.5. This app uses Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.41212.0 (32bit) which downloads some resources via internet to show in-app. Unfortunately, Silverlight fails to access the internet and I see this error in logs:

Code: Select all

[HttpWebRequest_WebException_RemoteServer]
Arguments: NotFound
Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&Version=5.1.41212.0&File=System.Windows.dll&Key=HttpWebRequest_WebException_RemoteServer
Other web resources are accessible for this app, so the issue is with Silverlight only.
This app works well on Win 10, so it
I don't see this error in winehq bugs section: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... 3&sAllBugs

Any ideas what can be wrong?

It looks like the issue is related to the lack of tls in ie8. And winetricks provide tls update only for 32bit wine prefixes.
