Wine allows you to run programs developed for Microsoft Windows systems under Linux. It comes with its own version of the Internet Explorer browser. I encountered problems when attempting to access webpages via HTTPS with that browser under Wine, though access via HTTP worked fine. When I tried accessing pages via HTTPS, I would see only a blank page. I discovered that problem while trying to resolve problems with the installation of Windows desktop programs from Collectorz to manage our book, comics, game, and movie collections — I was seeing "Error while connecting to server: 276: Server certificate verification failed. Connection aborted" messages when trying to register the programs with our Collectorz account's userid and password. I was able to eliminate the problem with the Collectorz desktop database programs by resolving the problem with Wine's version of the Internet Explorer browser.
