[Bug 19653] New: Purchasing games in steam does not work

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19653

Summary: Purchasing games in steam does not work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have no idea when this issue started, as I haven't purchased a steam game for
quite a long time (since last October I believe).

After entering credit card information and clicking on the submit button, the
button's text changes to "working" and animates with dots. However, steam does
not go anywhere else. I have tried this several times. In the end I used
store.steampowered.com in firefox and was able to purchase games just fine.

tldr; buying games in the Steam client does not work, but buying games off of
Steam's website does work.

Most likely iexplore port bug. That thing requires so many native dll's.
Confirming this would be by checking with the normal wine iexplore (or the full
as it seems that with the normal version it isn't possible to type URLs).

Doesn't work for me, either.

http://www.leenukes.co.uk/?p=109 claims to have a workaround:

"The problem appears to be with the Wine implementation of iexplorer. The issue
is you can click on the purchase button as often as you like, but it won’t take
you to anywhere.

I’m running wine 1.1.5 and Fedora 10 Beta

My solution is thus:

Using your web browser in Linux (outside of wine) goto the Steam 
page and goto http://store.steampowered.com

Navigate to the game you wish to purchase and click on purchase, for example
I’m buying Garrys Mod so I search for it and click purchase.

It then presents you with a Got Steam? popup.

With that window selected press Ctrl+U to view the source, you’re looking for a
section like this:

class="gotSteam_yes" onmouseover="this.className='gotSteam_yes_ovr';"
onmouseout="this.className='gotSteam_yes';"
onclick="opener.location.href='steam://purchase/218'; window.close();"
> Yes, I already have

Steam installed!

The important bit is the onclick section.

Copy the bit between the ” ’s ” so for my game, Garrys Mod, its:

steam://purchase/218

This is a trigger for steam to navigate to the purchase game section.

Now we know where to get the game, we can instruct Internet Explorer in Wine to
open it, the command for my setup is:

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
steam://purchase/218

This will then trigger Steam to load and prompt you with the 
purchase section.
Job done. Its a bit of a pain, but how often do you buy games really?"

A less convoluted workaround is just to browse to http://store.steampowered.com
in any browser outside of Wine and complete the purchase after signing in. 
Once completed the purchase automatically appears in steam.

Yes, as I thought. Should be confirmed as a bug with iexplore.exe.

Saw this on chromium-dev just now:

--- snip ---
http://store.steampowered.com/uiupdate/ says:
"Now using a WebKit based rendering engine for the client and in-game
overlay web browsing components (replacing Internet Explorer)"
...
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework
--- snip ---

So perhaps soon we'll have New and Different bugs :-)
I haven't tried the new UI yet myself.

Or the same bug with different causes? :P

Hello,

probably no longer applicable as webkit is used (not
wine-gecko/mshtml/jscript).
Marking abandoned.
