Summary: Option "-f" changes IPv6 connect behaviour
Initial Comment:
Using the curl command line utility to fetch an invalid URL returns an error document, as expected:

However, when using the "-f" command line switch, one gets the wrong error message:

* About to connect() to www.google.com port 80 (#0)

curl: (22) Failed to connect to 2a00:1450:4016:800::1010: Network is unreachable
Using "-f" correctly surpresses the error document but returns the wrong error message: the real error is the 404, not the failed IPv6 connect.

My report referred to curl 7.22, it seems to have been fixed in newer
versions and related to http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-03/0045.html
