[Bug 11172] New: no web cache

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11172

Summary: no web cache
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.53.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wininet
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

As far as I can tell the wine wininet does not implement cache. This in itself
would not be that troublesome but there is unimplemented function
InternetSetFilePointer that appears to rely on cache from the msdev
description, and I have no idea how to implement it without one.

It appears that a game updater relies on this function to cache a file
completely so that it can be read easily. It calls it with zero offset and the
second parameter from the end set to 2, and again with all parameters zero
except the fd.
It then proceeds to read the file with InternetReadFile and fails. The update
is carried out much faster in wine than on windows.

Lets start with:
1. What is the program in question?
2. What is the problem you have with the program from 1)?
3. What are _exact_ steps to reproduce the problem?
4. Is there a demo version of 1)?
5. If there is, does it have the same issue?

Bug is invalid until all those questions are answered.

The application in question is Nostale, it's free to download, and shows the
error when downloading updates (which is  the first thing you have to do after
installation). The updates are never successfully downloaded in Wine.

OK, further testing shows that the update does succeed sometimes, and it
sometimes finishes but corrupts the installation.

This is behaviour not observed on Windows XP, the update process is very
reliable there. So there is something flaky in the Wine implementation but it
might be as well something completely different.

This updater adds a user agent string just like the one from bug 3426.
It installs and runs fine here with my patch applied. Reporter, does this
patch fix the problem for you?

OK, I broke down and downloaded the 895MB installer. On startup the updater
downloaded many files but eventually it completed and I could start the game.
