--- Comment #11 from Alexei Colin alexei.co@gmail.com 2009-12-27 18:35:49 --- Ok, the results are different with wine 1.1.33. The mode (Windows 98/XP/etc) does not seem to matter. With no library overrides, the program crashes when trying to connect to online library (as before). The log attached and seems to get one step further: there are mentions of set_cookie.
With override of wininet (with normaliz.dll and iertutil.dll), program does not crash and this new error message is displayed: "A netowork error was encountered. Unable to establish a secure SSL connection. Please use Pocket Internet Explorer to attempt to access a secure URL (HTTPS://) to test whether this device supports SSL, then try again. (2148074245)"
I was successfully able to access a https resource (by opening an image at an https://... address) with iexploer.exe that I found on my drive_c (came with wine, I guess).
