Hi Curl users,

I'm new to this mailing list.

I just subscribed because I noticed a curl behaviour which seems to me
weird :

=== Configuration ===
The computer got one local ipv4 and one ipv6 like :
192.168.1.104
2a01:e35:2f65:81f0:215:f2ff:fe4b:xxxx
(xxxx to protect privacy :) )

The router presents on Internet an ipv4 (82.246.88.xx) and the ipv6
listed above.

With Firefox, a site like http://www.myipv6.org/ displays both ips (v4
and v6).

My CURL :
$ curl -V
curl 7.19.4 (i586-mandriva-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.4 GnuTLS/2.6.4
zlib/1.2.3 c-ares/1.6.0 libidn/1.13 libssh2/1.0
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

=== Problem ===
Why when I do :
curl http://www.myipv6.org/

The page say "You are connected thru an ipv4, your ip is 82.246.88.xx"
(in French).

To use ipv6 with curl I must do :
curl -ipv6 http://www.myipv6.org/

(The page says the same as with Firefox)

When both are available, Curl should use ipv6 by default ?

Cheers,

Olivier
