"should favour" how? Based on what; that IPv6 is better/speedier
than IPv4, or some addresses based on Geo-location is best?
libcurl knows zero about this. It would be cool if it did though.
In fact IPv6 can be a lot slower than IPv4. My case right now
(with IPv6 over a '6to4' tunnel) is that a:
curl -6 server-in-Oslo-Norway
goes via California! (3 times slow that with 'curl -4').
So much this hyped-up IPv6 protocol.
