IPv6 proxy browsers??

[Jeffrey B. Green]

Are there any IPv6 proxy browsers around to test out web site set up?

thanks,

Are you asking for a public proxy that speaks IPv4 and IPv6?
I can provide an authenticated one by 1:1 request.

If iceweasel (firefox) can handle a IPv6 proxy then that would be okay,
or if you know if one of the other browsers do. However, my original
thought was just a web based proxy browser for the IPv6 address space.

You could just access a proxy server that is on both ip4/ip6 networks to test your site.. Just let me know, it is also a trivial matter to add an IPV6 AAAA dns record for your server to facilitate the test. I think this is what mike is offering, and I can help you as well.

your system ---ipv4 or ipv6---> ipv4/ipv6 proxy host
+------> ipv6 website test
+------> ipv4 website test

That sounds good. Should I contact offlist? Your diagram has answered my
supplemental questions regarding use. However I thought Mike mentioned
authentication and I didn't see any capabilities for that in iceweasel.
Am I missing something here, perhaps a magic dialog box I'm not seeing.

Now I'm a bit confused, i.e what about SOA prerogatives for the
authoritative server? Can those things be sidestepped?

AFAIK browsers don't support different proxies for IPv4 and IPv6.
If the proxy server you configure is dual stack (IPv4 + IPv6) most
browsers will connect over IPv6.

With a dual stack proxy server you can use a IPv4 client (browser) to
connect to a IPv6 (web)server or a IPv6 client to connect to a IPv4
server (both client and server IPv4 or both client and server IPv6 will
work to).

Squid 3.1 is dual stack (3.0 isn't). There is a Squid 3.1 in Debian
experimental;
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/squid3
It can easily be packported to Lenny / stable.

Squid 3.1.0.x is beta. Squid 3.1.1.y (to be released soon) isn't.

Just add an AAAA record;

IPv4 only;
www.example.com IN A 10.20.30.40

Dual stack;
www.example.com IN A 10.20.30.40
AAAA 2001:0db8:1234:abcd:5678:ef90::1

Replace www.example.com with your hostname
Replace 10.20.30.40 with your IPv4 address
Replace 2001:0db8:1234:abcd:5678:ef90::1 with your IPv6 address

You don't have to change anything else. Just increase the serial and
reload (it's nice to add a reverse for your IPv6 address though).

Rob

It seems the only client that I can get to work so far with a IPv6 proxy
is curl, e.g.

curl -gv --proxy '[2001:...]:3128' 'http://[2002:...]'

I did also get wget to work, however using it was even more awkward than
curl. I'll see about opera although I may have a few hurdles since I'm
using debian on a powerpc for my workstation computer, and I think opera
may not like the powerpc aspect of my setup.

Most clients I've dealt with (including wget) support an IPv6 proxy.
Actually I haven't found an IPv6-enabled proxy-capable HTTP client that
could not deal with IPv6 proxies. However, using literal IPv6 addresses
is not very well supported. Use hostnames instead of addresses and you
should be fine.

Hello,
You can try http://www.sixxs.net/tools/gateway/
Regards,

Thanks, however it doesn't quite work for me. I don't have a dns (AAAA)
entry yet for the site and so need to browse by the direct IP address.
The SixXS site forces a dns lookup and so entering the address doesn't work.
