I am trying to curl ipv6 adresses, but without success.

If i try lets say:

curl https://google.com

I wait for a timeout and get network unreachable

If i force ipv4, everything is fine.

curl -4 https://google.com

Then again if i force ipv6, like this:

curl -6 https://google.com

i get:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2800:3f0:4001:806::1005: Network is unreachable

I suppose it has to do somehow with resolving ipv6 adresses.

I saw that on other computers that have a newer version of some linux distro, these requests go fine, so i'm guessing it has to do something with me using ubuntu 10.10, where this problem isn't solved.

I want to be able to curl normally without using the option: -4, what do i have to modify to be able to use curl normally with ipv6 adresses?
