Summary: Difficulties reaching IPv6-enabled sites (bugzilla,
lists) in Opera on some systems
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: upstream
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal

Got a report from a Linux user of inability to reach Bugzilla in Opera; I was
able to reproduce this on my Mac.
Some of our side sites such as:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
https://lists.wikimedia.org/
are advertising IPv6 addresses in DNS. In at least some circumstances, Opera
appears to attempt to connect over IPv6 even if there isn't a functional IPv6
link to the outside internet. (On my Mac, the only working IPv6 around is for
the ZeroConf .local network.) The connection fails, but Opera just sort of
stalls and gets confused instead of something sensible like falling back to
IPv4.
Confirmed problem in Opera 9.54 and 9.63 for Mac.
This newsgroup post describes the issue on WinXP with IPv6 enabled:

Would be good if we can make sure this is getting fixed upstream in Opera, or
have some standard workaround directions we can provide.
