But there is!  Try with a typical webbrowser or wget!

	root at nagios:/tmp# wget -6 www.timewarnercable.com

So is something broken with check_http?

Frank,

Blame them! Ignore them. 
But there is simply no HTTP server listening on that IPv6 host.

-----Oorspronkelijk bericht-----
I monitor over 60 IPv6-enabled websites and the only one that's giving me
grief is TWC:

	root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_http -6 -H
www.timewarnercable.com
	CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
	root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins#
	root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_http -6 -H
www.timewarnercable.com -v
	GET / HTTP/1.1
	User-Agent: check_http/v1.4.15 (nagios-plugins 1.4.15)
	Connection: close
	Host: www.timewarnercable.com


	CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
	root at nagios:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins#

Anyone else see this?  Why is check_http struggling here, while all other
sites work fine?

Frank
