Re: Merge of WineX's (LGPL licensed) wininet.dll code

[Mike Hearn]

Well, I'm spending my fun afternoon trying to get IE to install in Wine
(it breaks in a new and interesting way every time I try this).

Before the patch, it didn't work, couldn't contact download sites. After
the patch, it still doesn't work, and I get this fixme:

fixme:wininet:InternetReadFile This shouldn't be here! We don't support
this kind of connection anymore. Must use NETCON functions, especially
if using SSL

Which seems a bit of a bummer, if IE6 setup needs that type of
connection I think we should still support it really......

I think the problem might be lack of proxy workingness. Am investigating
now. Would be nice to lift proxy details from the http_proxy variable in
future....

One last thing, the patch seemed to have a lot of whitespace no-ops,
running diff with -bB should eliminate some.

Merge of WineX's (LGPL licensed) wininet.dll code

[David Hammerton]

Hi There,

This would be related to the open-ssl thing I did...

Basically rather than rewriting a bunch of wininet code, I wrote a layer 
around the winsock stuff so that it can easily switch between ssl and non-ssl 
sockets..

The odd thing is in my WineX tree (where I do my development) that fixme isn't 
in InternetReadFile - theres now only one, and thats in InterneWriteFile...

Mike McCormack - is it possible this file (internet.c) didn't get merged 
properly?
Mike Hearn - check out the function 'InternetReadFile' at this URL and compare 
against your post-patched winehq version.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/winex/wine/dlls/wininet/inter...

*few minutes later*

ok, so I checked out winehq cvs and applied the patch..
Mike McCormack - it looks like you merged the contents of InternetWriteFile 
into both InternetWriteFile and InternetReadFile.. I may be wrong (I just 
woke up)..

The FIXME in InternetWriteFile has no bad effect, things will still work (so 
long as you're not using HTTPS) - but in InternetReadFile, I have my doubts.

Cheers.

David
