--- Comment #13 from Hans Leidekker hans@meelstraat.net --- (In reply to Jan Essert from comment #12)
I have thought about it, and I actually do the following:
- Have the necessary DNS information to serve wpad.dat
- Instead of serving it over http, perform a 301 redirect to https (which
is probably a mistake)
- Then serve it with a self-signed certificate (which is probably also a
mistake).
However, I believe wine should either simply not use that wpad.dat or use it, but not crash. So I believe the bug is still kinda valid.
Right, it should probably return an error. Could you make that URL (with redirect to https) available to us? It doesn't matter what's in wpad.dat.
