Still not working in 1.5.5.
Reading through the comments over the last year, it appears the one final change needed to submit the fix to wine-patches, per this post by Juan Lang, is changing \t to " " (without quotes). Digging through wine-devel and wine-patches archives, it doesn't appear this patch ever made submission, so it unfortunately appears the original person to work on this left after that comment.
I'm in the process of building against 1.5.5. If all is well, tests succeed, and https:// is working, I'll make the required change and submit it. As this bug affects more than a single application, hopefully it will be well received.
I am still around just don't have time to do anything useful actually.
The patch you are looking at is not the fix for the bug described here. It is just a set of tests which would reveal a missing functionality. What this test lacks is actually testing if https sites will work. That is - it tests if certificates are fetched and tests that there are several certificates and that they are kept in intermediate storage. It does not attempt to verify those certificates.
