IPv6-enabled HTTPS sites don't load when convergence is enabled

[davidbb]

When visiting an HTTPS site over IPv6 with convergence enabled, the site does not load. Disabling convergence by clicking on the toolbar icon and reloading the page makes it load properly.

Tested with
https://www.v6.facebook.com
https://ipv6.google.com

Oh, we are talking ipv6 only domains here, not dual stack ones. This is mostly out of our control, we need ipv6 support for twisted, and the notaries used to be on dual stack servers. Now, why can't google and facebook use dual stack, oh, yes that's right cause M$ fucked up the implementation in the win 2000/xp addon.

There is an issue as well with dual stack sites. I run a few of those and just noticed that when convergence is enabled, all the requests are sent via IPv4 whereas normally they would be sent via IPv6 which is preferable (At least to me).

@xi0 yes, for the same reason. However at least it works in some fashion. We'll need to make all our notary servers dual stack or have some kind of setting saying which they support on the server so we use only the ones that support IPv6 if we are attempting an ipv6 connection and visa versa.
