IPV6 & Dillo

[James Tappin]

I've been having problems connecting to IPV6-enabled web servers using
dillo 0.8.3-1 from hoary (universe). For example:

james at ephiny:~$ dillo http://www.birminghammasters.co.uk
dillo_dns_init: Here we go!
Disabling cookies.
Nav_open_url: Url=>about:splash<
Nav_open_url: Url=>http://www.birminghammasters.co.uk<
Dns_server [0]: www.birminghammasters.co.uk is 0x101bb6c8
Connecting to 2001:8b0:0:81::51bb:5151
Http_connect_socket ERROR: Network is unreachable
james at ephiny:~$ ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:93:7C:DE:3A
          inet addr:147.188.32.107  Bcast:147.188.32.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::203:93ff:fe7c:de3a/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4969 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:16385
          TX packets:1808 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:16386 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:4968323 (4.7 MiB)  TX bytes:257264 (251.2 KiB)
          Interrupt:41 Base address:0x6400

I've also tried on my home network with the same results. All other
browsers that I have tried (konqueror, firefox, lynx and elinks) work as
they should. The problem is restricted to IPV6-enabled servers.

For comparison on a Debian Sarge box on the same subnet as the example
given above there is a fallback to IPV4, viz:

[lnxn @ 9:38] :_dillo http://www.birminghammasters.co.uk
dillo_dns_init: Here we go!
Disabling cookies.

          inet addr:147.188.32.222  Bcast:147.188.32.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:6eff:feb4:57d3/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:47876293 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:9852791 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:3499615759 (3.2 GiB)  TX bytes:1738175049 (1.6 GiB)
          Interrupt:201 Base address:0xb000

I can't see any obvious differences in the network configurations, does
anyone have any clue?

TIA
