Summary: PuTTY never times out when given an invalid server Product: Wine Version: 1.1.23 Platform: PC URL: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/down load.html OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com
Testing various stuff with putty for appinstall, I found PuTTY never times out. Very easy to test:
$ wget http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe $ wine putty.exe www.google.com
On windows, times out after about 45-60 seconds (doesn't seem to be a hardcoded value, though). On wine, let it run for 5 minutes and no timeout.
