wine users - Feb 2011 - HTTP/SSL (HTTPS) sites not working in IE6/IE7 - advice reque

Hello,

I have working IE6 and IE7 in Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 11.1, HTTP sites
working OK, but I have problems with HTTP/SSL (HTTPS) sites. Has somebody solved
this?

In *IE7*, sticking point is this screen:

"There is a problem with this website's security certificate. Security
certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data
you send to the server. We recommend that you close this webpage and do not
continue to this website. Click here to close this webpage. Continue to this
website (not recommended). More information"

After clicking to "Continue to this website", the same screen reloades
and it is cycling again and again, after each "Continue ...". I
imported certificate to various tabs of Tools > Internet Options > Content
> Certificates, but it had no effect on this behaviour. Also this howto
http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=7314&sid=0e6374db8e020792bf24984a2822e492
was not helpful.

In *IE6*, sticking point is this security warning dialog:

"There is a problem with the certificate for this site. There is at least
one unspecified security problem with this certificate. Do you want to continue
anyway?" Yes / No

After many repeated Yes-clicks, the site loades slowly, but then whole IE
crashes and is restarted. I imported certificate to various tabs of "wine
control" > Internet Settings > Content > Certificates..., but it
had no effect on this behaviour.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

With wine-1.3.14 (well, really, wine from git), I was able to do
  rm -rf ~/.wine
  winetricks-alpha -q ie7
  wine 'C:\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore'
https://mail.google.com
and connect successfully.  However,
  wine 'C:\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore' https://gmail.com
fails as you describe.

Which wine are you using, how did you install ie7, and which sites
are you trying to connect to?

I filed
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26203
for the ie7 problem as I saw it.

Does a fresh copy of winetricks-alpha from
http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha
work any better for ie6 and ie7?
