I just discovered that part of it is written in python!!

Their graphics engine is Panda3D, which is free software, and is available for Linux.

They appear to have developed under Cygwin.

I wonder if they will create a Linux port?

If enough of us hassle them, then maybe they might??

Aanyway..

I did a packet capture on both a Windows computer and a Linux computer.
When you log in, it sends your login over HTTPS to 198.105.196.11 (apps.pirates.go.com).

Now here's the problem:
Under windows, the SSL session is set up fine, and everything goes smooth.
Under Wine however, a Plain-text HTTP request is sent, which is met with a hang-up (thus the "socket_set_error: Success").

Therefore, the problem is that SSL isn't working in PotC under Wine.
