Subject: SeaMonkey and IPv6?
Does anyone know if SeaMonkey 2.1 is ready to use IPv6. I am suspecting
SeaMonkey can use IPv6, but am not sure. Unfortunately my ISP Shaw has not
updated to IPv6. Rumour is that Shaw will only update to IPv6 when IPv6
addresses have run out. I wonder how many internet sites have the same plan
to wait until IPv4 addresses have run out before upgrading to IPv6?
Just out of interest, it has been reported in Australia, that the IPv4
addresses ran out in February of this year.
See http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/06/08/3239116.htm
For iceape 1.0.9 running on Debian 5,
The web site at http://test-ipv6.com/ returns
"
Test your IPv6 connectivity.
JavaScript Required
This site requires JavaScript, as well as the ability to pull in
cross-site scripts, in order to perform the testing.
If this message does not go away, it means that JavaScript has been
disabled, either by a plugin or extension in your browser, or by
explicit browser setting.

Nasty web page.
The "simple test" web page at
http://server2.test-ipv6.com/simple_test.html returns
"
Simple IPv4/IPv6 Test
This image based test is provided for those with browsers or browser
plugins incompatible with the main test. This page provides only a
subset of features, but should be enough for a simple pass/fail.
The following table will try and load 3 images.
Pass? Method More Info
? IPv4 IPv4. Basic traditional Internet.
? IPv4 or IPv6 If green, you will have no problem on World IPv6
day.
If this fails, seek help from your IT department, helpdesk, or ISP tech
support.
If this fails, consider using the full test, with IE, Firefox, Safari,
or Chrome, to get more detailed information about possible failure
reasons.
? IPv6 If red or blank, do not stress! Few people already have
IPv6 at this time; and it is not critical for 2011 but will be for the
coming years.
"
With the first two ("IPv4" and "IPv4 or IPv6") returning tick in green
circle, showing "okay" (?), and the third ("IPv6") showing just a
question mark, so I am not sure what that means.
I hope that all of this does not mean that we have to have javascript
enabled to use IPv6.
