Summary: winhttp tests fail if ISP has a catch-all dns failure page Product: Wine Version: 1.3.27 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winhttp AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
ws2_32's sock.ok used to fail like this sock.c:1833: Test failed: gethostbyname("someweirdandbogusname") succeeded. if your ISP returns success for failed DNS lookups (and points you to its own error page). It no longer does; see the comment added by d88ee55e686c647b372d82c1349b06205561878a.
But winhttp/winhttp.ok now fails in that case. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2011-August/105358.html proposes making the failure message explain how to fix it. But given that ws2_32's tests no longer depends on DNS lookups being able to fail, maybe winhttp's tests shouldn't, either.
