Package: wget Version: 1.25.0-2 Severity: normal If a target has both an ipv6 and an ipv4 address, Wget uses ipv6 as usual. But if ipv6 connectivity is broken, Wget does not fall back to ipv4, while it should. Following is an example situation that I can observe here
$ host aduc.it aduc.it has address 172.67.186.21 aduc.it has address 104.21.84.40 aduc.it has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3033::6815:5428 aduc.it has IPv6 address 2606:4700:3030::ac43:ba15 aduc.it mail is handled by 10 mail.aduc.it. aduc.it has HTTP service bindings 1 . alpn="h3,h2" ipv4hint=188.114.96.7,188.114.97.7 ech=AEX+DQBB+gAgACB68yWanQwvuuMkhtkJKB5NiMnIVzllHE/OmbkjIS42JQAEAAEAAQASY2xvdWRmbGFyZS1lY2guY29tAAA= ipv6hint=2a06:98c1:3120::7,2a06:98c1:3121::7 ~/doc$ wget aduc.it Prepended http:// to 'aduc.it' --2025-04-03 14:43:51-- http://aduc.it/ Resolving aduc.it (aduc.it)... 2606:4700:3033::6815:5428, 2606:4700:3030::ac43:ba15, 104.21.84.40, ...
