(the only explanation so far is that we might have missed to cater for ipv6-only clients; but I doubt there are THAT many out there yet)
You'd be surprised - I know of areas in Latin America and Asia that are only allocating IPv6 addresses these days, and in Germany you have ISP's like Kabel Deutchland which only provide their customers with IPv6 addresses now, unless you explicitly request an IPv4 address And sure, in many cases they have some kind of fallback for IPv4 addresses, but they often favour IPv6 first and foremost - heck, almost all of our browsers in openSUSE do that by default now also. ~20% of the traffic hitting google worldwide is IPv6 these days https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html That bumps upto 30% in Germany, and 33% in Greece & USA So if something like conncheck.opensuse.org was responsive on IPv6 but not responding properly, it's not surprising NM would go try a different host rather than thinking "oh, maybe the webserver will work right on that old legacy protocol I don't like to use any more" ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
