$ 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

So c-ares was specified at build time ?

Is there a mean to get ipv6 by default with this build ?

Cheers,

Olivier
