Re: konqueror 3.1 + ipv6

You mean this kind of error?

    $ host -t aaaa v6.fries.net
    v6.fries.net has AAAA address 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:0
    $

In the html window:

    An error occured while loading http://v6.fries.net:


    Unknown host v6.fries.net

This does exist btw:

  $ telnet v6.fries.net 80
  Trying 3ffe:b00:4004:1::1:0...
  Connected to v6.fries.net.
  Escape character is '^]'.

  $ 

FWIW, I've found that giving an ipv6 address works fine:

	http://[3ffe:b0:4004:1::1:0]/

As itojun and I discussed, the lookup routines in the kdelibs are quite
wrong in their separation of ipv6 and ipv4.  It should be 'transparent'
and if necessary allow disabling of one or the other, but for a given
name, should try try all addresses, ipv6 and ipv4, for each name, in
the order 'all ipv6' ... 'all ipv4' .. which is what our libc does.
Unfortunately they think they know better and use c++ to make separate
handling of ipv6 and ipv4 ;-(

| Hi,
