           Summary: winhttp.dll and winsock:WSAStringToAddressA
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.39.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-net
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: sites at cheimes.de


Myst Online requires a copy of winhttp.dll for its status message system. I used
a copy from my Windows XP SP2 (German). Since Myst Online version Live 6 the
status message fails to update with the message

fixme:winsock:WSAStringToAddressA (support.mystonline.com, 17, (nil),
0x7d8628dc, 0x7d8628d8) - AddressFamiliy not implemented!

0x17 = IPv6

I've talked to Andrey Turkin about the issues and he replied with:

---
Launcher do very strange things there. WSAStringToAddress cannot resolve
DNS names to IP address; launcher tries to do this, notice failure,
tries again with IPv6 (which is not supported, hence fixme; but the
function claims successful completion for some reason); then launcher
tries the same thing again with ANSI version of this function, and then
goes on with "[support.mystonline.com]" as server name, which won't work.
