Unfortunately, my code detecting whether IPv6 works on my systems is not a generic one and very specific to linux kernels, network configurations and software used in my devices. It also depends on some other components, which just cannot be integrated or used inside libcurl.
That's why I suggested to have a system callback which would allow developers to provide their own "IPv6 works" detection mechanism overriding the default one.

Maybe you could contribute your system-specific IPv6 detection code as patch(es) for libcurl? This approach would not require any new callback.
