Steamwebhelper issue seems region related (reproducable)

[tacoe]

Description

After some digging (since the steam issue still persisted even with the newest Whisky and Whiskywine) I noticed that the problem doesn't occur when changing system language from NL to Ukranian. Hopefully, whatever was done to fix it, can be applied to other regions as well.

Going on log files it could be something as trivial as some process failing to parse a localized date.

Steps to reproduce

Install and launch Steam in Whisky 2.3.4 with updated dependencies, with 'region' in System Settings > General > Language & Region set to Netherlands. A dialog will appear stating Steamwebhelper is not responding.

Change region to Ukranian. Repeat launch. Now, Steam launches normally.

Expected behaviour

Expected behavior is for Steam to launch successfully regardless of region set.

Issue Language

• [x] Yes my issue is written in English

I followed the code path of the error and wine is using this function (https://github.com/Whisky-App/wine/blob/cefdfd79e5bc41e667400e21333983caae74c04e/dlls/wininet/http.c#L4459) to parse the date string. So it expects an RFC1123 compliant date string, not sure whats the best way of fixing this.

Also I believe this is a WhiskyWine issue, so it should go to https://github.com/Whisky-App/wine/ instead.

Those warnings have always been present, I highly doubt that is the problem.
