Description DuWayne Morris CLA 2007-12-11 10:54:23 EST 
A work-around is required to record IPv6 traffic using Firefox with the TPTP HTTP Recorder.  The user must manually adjust the proxy settings on the browser to [::1], which is the localhost IPv6 address, and select socks 5 to record IPv6.  The user must set the browser back to 127.0.0.1 in order to record IPv4 traffic.  The browser should direct all traffic to [::1], since socks 5 and the recorder fully supports any mixture of IPv4 and IPv6.  The current version of Firefox (2.0.0.9), for some unknown reason, will only direct IPv4 traffic to an IPv4 proxy (127.0.0.1) and will only direct IPv6 traffic to an IPv6 proxy ([::1]).
