------- Additional Comments From hans@it.vu.nl 2007-07-08 06:05 ------- Confirmed. The original bug seems to be fixed (but note that you need to cd into the program directory to avoid another error).
Next problem is that openssl returns error 18 (self signed certificate) for the certificate used by the game's site. If you point your browser to that site or run this command you'll get the same error:
$ openssl s_client -connect www.kumagames.com:443
I guess this works in Windows because the user has already visited the site (presumably to download the software or register an account) and accepted the bogus certificate. On Windows winhttp then consults the user's trusted certificates list and finds it.
A workaround would be to configure your openssl installation to accept self-signed certificates (or just this certificate, to be on the safe side). A real solution probably entails a full implementation of SSL in Wine.
