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/internet.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup *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.
