The Wine websites are protected by Anubis? HTTP 403 is "prohibited". -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59858 --- Comment #3 from Ken Sharp <imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 81163 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=81163 Wine 11.10 console output OR Two possible issues: 1. The "protection" is seeing iexplore as a bot, and kills it. 2. iexplore cannot run the required code to prove itself. So I probably jumped the gun in reassigning this, but knowing what's going on server-side will help. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

(this bug) 2. iexplore won't pass anyway as it doesn't have the guts to run the check. (new bug) Anubis is open source. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
