Wine: wininet.dll sends request for any domain to 127.0.0.1

  • 772

Thanks to @Taylor and @Olli I fully revised my question.

Hi,

I'm developing a windows application in ubuntu. Everything is fine. The only problem is that every web call I perform with wininet.dll is sent to localhost instead of target server.

I have no idea what's the problem and how to force wininet.dll to resolve domain name correctly.

I also created the hosts file in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and set domains and IPs manually; but did not help.

Any idea?

  1. You can use /etc/hosts to do same thing. Format is at least almost the same, and there is examples in that file already in place.

  2. apt://Winetricks has an option to create an empty hosts file in your wine directory, which you can then edit in the same manner.

    You could try the wininet.dll from windows. I believe there is a copy on dllfiles.com (not sure if this link is correct since I am calling from memory). In wine, you will have to set the dll to native then builtin (and remember to create a backup of wine's copy of the dll before installing).
