"""The switch --disable-ipv6 is supported and works as intended. It is not the intention of the switch to disable AAAA lookups. Instead, it disables support for IPv6 sockets."""

I just think that this definition is not exact. Do you seriously expect IPv6 to work when you explicitly use --disable-ipv6 which *disables* support of IPv6?

If you would like to use IPv6, just forget this old configuration option.

If you would like to disable IPv6, disable it system-wide. See:
