The Wine idea is a good one.

You might also try going to https://hamiltontown.com/ and seeing if that works 
and/or is any better.

Another thing to try:

https://user:pass@hamiltontown.com/ (or http if you don't mind the password 
going in the clear or there is no other way). No idea if this will work, but 
hey, it's worth a shot.
