--- Comment #12 from Dale Mosby dale@archcape.com 2008-12-08 09:28:56 --- With a less foggy brain I later realized that yes indeed, my last test was with 1.1.0 which was a version I had not used earlier (I told git that good was 1.1.8 and bad was 1.1.9 earlier). My test yesterday did build the 1.1.10 version.
It seems that the real problem I hit in my test with 1.1.10 was that the site was down as Austin mentioned. I already had pulled down the exe file so was using that local and did not realize the site was down. That was causing the hang and preventing code with patch from ever getting called.
This morning the version 1.1.10 code with patch applied works. And the winhttpd.dll file is not needed.
Today I will test patch back on the 1.1.9 version just for completeness. Thanks for your help on this.
