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.
