Re: [Lynx-dev] How to force IPv4 or IPv6?

[Winston Weinert]

Ah. I was hoping I didn't need to manipulate my operating system for this functionality.

It turns out using LD_PRELOAD works nicely. Just whipped this up. Works perfectly on my Debian system: http://sprunge.us/GVEG?c

no - you could force lynx to use ipv4 on the first lookup, but any
redirects would use dns, and then it would rely on _that_ address.

You could of course recompile lynx without the ipv6 support...
