Patch for broken handling of SSL/TLS connections resulting in server timeouts

Hi, I use audible.com for audio books and have always wanted to run it
in wine, thought it never worked. When activating the Audible Manger
Application, the connection to the auth servers would time out. It
seemed Wine was (wrongly) assuming a certain type of connection and
timed out while windows did not show this behavior.

This was because of bug (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16831).

A patch has been proposed
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16831#c18) and seems to have
fixed the problem in a correct enough way to keep the windows API
stuffs separated (though I may be understanding it wrong)

I have updated the patch to work with the current 1.3.3 release on
SourceForge, and ScottRitchie suggested I send it to the wine-patches
list.

I can confirm the patch works, though I can not confirm it doesn't
break anything else.

The patch is here: http://files.volatileminds.net/misc/audible_wine-1.3.3.patch

Please, look over it and make sure it is a clean patch and that is can
be brought into the current 1.3 release and possible backported to
1.2.

If any changes should be made, I can make them, though my knowledge of
C and Wine are not terribly great.


Thanks!
