Ipv6 not working => traceback (since 0.7.6)

[sander]

With IPv6 not working, I get the error messages below on my STDOUT:

Code: Select all

That seemed new, so I went back in version:
Up to 0.7.5, I just get a timeout
With 0.7.6 and higher, I get the above error message

Is this as designed / wanted?

You tell me.
This was the last significant change involving IPv6 since 0.7.0:

Well, if you ask me:

I find a traceback a bit strange. As SABnzbd raises the error message, why is it not caught by a calling function within SAB?
The message itself is OK. If possible, it should mention the newsserver it is trying to reach. ... well, assuming the message also appears when a server is not reachable.
BTW: I'm not sure it started since 0.7.6 ... that was a quick test.

The exception is caught, what you're seeing is a debug traceback for diagnostic purposes.

You have no IPv6 yourself, right? If so, when you fill out newszilla6.xs4all.nl as a server, do you get the same traceback?

[shypike]

I see the traceback in the log (as intended).
The Status->Connections page shows: # Connections: Failed to connect: (60, '[Errno 65] No route to host') [email protected]:119
When I also enable another server, downloading runs along fine, meaning that the downloader did not crash.

There is no problem as far as I can tell.

[sander]

There is no problem as far as I can tell.

OK, then I will just regard the traceback logging as a big fat warning ...

If I use this line at gai.conf

precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100

a connection to newszilla6.xs4all.nl:119 is not possible. "telnet newszilla6.xs4all.nl 119" works fine nevertheless.

Kind regards,
