Hi,
According to WRT [1], one of todays patches caused a regression error, picked up by one of the wininet DLL tests. Only, none of the patches seem to have touched wininet.
The problem is with the tests at dlls/wininet/tests/http.c lines 117 and 157. The test freezes for up to 4 minutes, then returns the failures.
As an act in desperation, I've tried reversing some of the patches (1-4, 6, and 7 from the WRT list) without success.
I'm also a little suspicious that this might be something to do with Glasgow (or me :) I've been able to reproduce the problem on two other (local) machines, but I've not tried on any remote machines. I've also tried using earlier cvs versions (from a few days ago), but that build fails the wininet tests too. It would be good if someone could confirm the problem.
Sorry if this turns out to be a red herring ...
Paul.
PS It's quite late here, so I might not be able to reply until tomorrow.
