Description Eric Hopper 2002-12-19 16:49:13 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202

Description of problem:
Squid doesn't support downloading web pages from hosts that only have IPv6 addreses.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set your browser up to use a squid proxy on RH 8.0 and go to
http://www.ipv6.omnifarious.org/


Actual Results:  You get the 'Unable to determine IP address from host name'
page from squid.


Expected Results:  The same result as if you go to http://www.omnifarious.org/


Additional info:

I also have squid set to use an upstream proxy.  If either squid, or mozilla
could be changed to treat IPv6 only, and/or IPv6 capable hosts differenty with
regards to forwarding to a proxy, it would be a great help.

Of course it would be nice if RedHat stepped in and helped with this work 8)

Comment 2 Pekka Savola 2003-07-22 10:54:38 UTC

Squid IPv6 support does not seem to be a first priority item in the upstream, so
I don't think RHL should be working on it.

(Tip: we use apache2 as a very simple proxy for this purpose, works just fine.)
