Hello all,
Thank you for supporting IPv6 in wget v 1.9.1. Unfortunately, wget v
1.9.1 does not work well, at least, on NetBSD.
NetBSD does not allow to use IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses for security
reasons. To know the background of this, please refer to:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-cmetz-v6ops-v4mapped-api-harmful-01.txt
When wget is compiled with "configure --enable-ipv6", it uses
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses if the address of the target host is IPv4.
Thus, connecting an IPv4 host by wget on NetBSD always fails.
To reproduce this on Linux, execute the following command:
# sysctl -w net/ipv6/bindv6only=1
I'm not on this list. So, please Cc: me when replying.
