On the Mac, we use libcurl with c-ares to allow asynchronous resolving of host names. There was a bug in c-ares which caused it to not fall back to IPv4 when IPv4 lookups failed on certain configurations of systems, so we reverted to an older c-ares which did not handle IPV6.
The newer versions of c-ares have fixed this problem, so version 6.13 can support IPV6 on Macs.
