Note that the wininet tests try to connect to www.winehq.com, so the failure could be caused by a network connectivity problem (of course it may also be a bug in our code).
Actually, the networking turned out to be the problem after all. Web proxies here at Glasgow Uni are a little complex (and IMO sub-optimal). The problem was with a machine Comp.Serv. forgot to reboot after a UPS died (killed by lightning). This lead to the situation where I could see www.winehq.com, but quisquiliae couldn't.
The weird thing is that the calls to InternetConnectA() and HttpOpenRequestA() in dlls/wininet/tests/http.c succeeded despite the connection failing. Is this correct? The MSDN entries ([1] and [2]) suggest that they should fail if the connection cannot be made, but the code says otherwise ...
Cheers,
Paul.
