I just tested links 2.3-1, with proxiy setting "localhost:8118", and having privoxy listen on IPv6 only (::1) on port 8118. From my tests everything works! For example this is long running download (from kernel.org, also by IPv6) using links # netstat -apn | grep -E 'privoxy|links' tcp6 0 0 ::1:8118 :::* LISTEN 4537/privoxy tcp6 0 0 ::1:43256 ::1:8118 ESTABLISHED 5252/links tcp6 0 0 2001:470:1f0b:527:54042 2001:500:60:10:1994::80 ESTABLISHED 4537/privoxy tcp6 0 7040 ::1:8118 ::1:43256 ESTABLISHED 4537/privoxy unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2284871 5252/links /home/baryluk/.links2/socket # And this is similar long download to ftp.de.debian.org (which is IPv4 only currently). tcp 0 0 10.0.2.153:39190 141.76.2.4:80 ESTABLISHED 4537/privoxy tcp6 0 0 ::1:8118 :::* LISTEN 4537/privoxy tcp6 0 0 ::1:43288 ::1:8118 ESTABLISHED 5252/links tcp6 0 7240 ::1:8118 ::1:43288 ESTABLISHED 4537/privoxy unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2284871 5252/links /home/baryluk/.links2/socket So, everything works extreamly well! No timeouts, errors, everything was working fast, so no slow paths or retries was encountered. At least in this quick testing. Beyond testing "localhost:8118", I also entered "[::1]:8118", and it also worked! Nice. Thanks you. Now only if links could respect http_proxy environment variable, (if it is not already configured in links configuration), everything will be perfect. I think this bug can be properly closed for 2.3-1, as it is fixed. :) -- Witold Baryluk
