WebRequest works in IP V6?

 

Hi guys,

The function WebRequest is ready for IP V6?

I asking because today a client's Windows 10 was updated and the function WeRequest() is not working any more. After a lot of testing, everything gets working again when I desabled IP V6 in the internet config of the windows.

The EA uses WebRequest() to get some initial informations. Our site is ready for IP V6 (checked in http://ipv6-test.com/validate.php).


Other interesting information:

In the PC that works well, I check the ping:

ping website.com.br

and the test uses, for defaut, IP V4.

Trying

ping website.com.br -6

It gets time out, sometimes.


In the PC that NOT working, the ping

ping website.com.br

is getting a lot of time out. Sometimes it gets one success. But if I type:

ping website.com.br -4

it works well.


It's looks like the Windows changed the priority to IP V6, not using IP V4 any more. It makes sense?

I know Microsoft is turning off the IP V4 in the new releases, is that case?

Returning to the point, is the function WebRequest() ready to IP V6?


Thanks in advance.

It is anticipated that the pool of unutilized IPv4 addresses will be depleted in a short time. This would imply that the Internet would not be able to continue to grow as easily as it has been growing and that it would become more difficult...
