Fail to retry after IPv6 reset

Hi,

Opera for Linux does not try next ip address in DNS list if the ipv6 fails with TCP RST.
This happened because the server in question was set up with IPv6, but
the web-server not set up to listen on IPv6. The web-server is fixed now.
"All" other browsers try the ipv4-address and the web server failure on IPv6 is unnoticed.

The opera response was :

Du prøvde å gå til adressen http://stats.nordu.net/connections.html, som
er utilgjengelig for øyeblikket. Kontroller at nettadressen (URLen) er
skrevet riktig og prøv så å oppdatere siden.

The version is :
Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.16

How typical... nobody responded in a month. Does the same for me. Actually forced me to create ipv4 only subdomain in DNS to get around this issue.

Sigh, I have been loyal to Opera since version 6, but recent years activity is really changing my mind...
