That is exactly what I mean. :-)
extract of man curl -4, --ipv4 If libcurl is capable of resolving an address to multiple IP versions (which it is if it is IPv6-capable), this option tells libcurl to resolve names to IPv4 addresses only.
-6, --ipv6 If libcurl is capable of resolving an address to multiple IP versions (which it is if it is IPv6-capable), this option tells libcurl to resolve names to IPv6 addresses only. default statistics.
Can we tell this to libcurl, via a configuration file somewhere? Or do we need a zypper/yast patch?
A missing in development of zypper, bug, enhancement ?
Dunno.
Just don't forget that some part of the world can't use ipv4, and one day or another ipv6 will be mandatory.
Absolutely, I know that IPv6 is comming to all the world sooner or later. But we need a method to force one or the other for those that do not have both. I'm looking at man curl, which I understand is what zypper/yast use. In the entry for "-K/--config <config file>", it says that it checks for a default config file: +++··············· When curl is invoked, it always (unless -q is used) checks for a default config file and uses it if found. The default config file is checked for in the following places in this order: 1) curl tries to find the "home dir": It first checks for the CURL_HOME and then the HOME environment variables. Failing that, it uses getpwuid() on UNIX-like systems (which returns the home dir given the current user in your system). On Windows, it then checks for the APPDATA variable, or as a last resort the '%USERPRO-FILE%\Application Data'. ···············++- So, would a /root/.curlrc work with zypper/yast? I have just created one, and I'll wait to see what happens. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
