User with SocksPort and DnsPort who visits an address that resolves to ipv6 gets confusing failure message?
A while ago we had a user on irc who had a DnsPort and a SocksPort, transparent proxy style. He went somewhere that his dnsport resolved to an IPv6 address:
But then later he tried reaching that address and his vanilla Socksport line didn't specify it could handle ipv6, or maybe it was some other issue, but in any case he ended up with this confusing warning message:
log_warn(LD_EDGE, "I'm about to ask a node for a connection that I "
"am telling it to fulfil with neither IPv4 nor IPv6. That's "
"not going to work. Did you perhaps ask for an IPv6 address "
"on an IPv4Only port, or vice versa?");
Maybe this bug is fixed already. Or maybe this person wasn't fully explaining his situation. But I figure it's better to file it than to leave it sitting in a browser tab for another two weeks.
Feel free to triage to 0.2.7 or to close if you think it's nonsense by now.
