Wouldn't it be a better solution to fix your IPv6 problems generally
instead of modifying privoxy? Did you think about removing the IPv6
default route, if your ISP doesn't support IPv6? This should solve
your IPv6 problems for all programs.
Alternatively you could set up a IPv6 tunnel and work around the
broken IPv6 of your ISP.
I don't think that an option to disable IPv6 in privoxy would be the
right way trough IPv6 (and we have to migration to IPv6 in the near
future, since we run out of IPv4 addresses).
I'm not sure whether it would be possible to fall back to IPv4 after
some timeout if the IPv6 address doesn't answer. But on the otherhand
the broken AAAA of www.apache.org just showed, that it is necessary to
bring IPv6 into the minds of all administrators. Without someone
running into trouble with broken IPv6, the IPv6 setup will never been
fixed and the migration will take forever...
Tschoeeee
