Hi,

It is my understanding that the tla arch is on hipl.hiit.fi, and that there is no AAAA record for this host in DNS, but its v6 address is 2001:708:148:220::2 which I can ping6.

So I put this address in my /etc/hosts, and I can 'ping6 -n hipl.hiit.fi', so now I try 'tla replay' and I get:

unable to access URL: /hipl/archive/.listing
webdav error: Could not connect to server: Permission denied

So either tla does not support IPv6, or your webdav is not listing on IPv6?

I tried this with IPv6 and tla and it works fine. Did you check the download page on the bottom:

Problems Downloading HIPL with tla?

A user reported the following error with TLA:
% tla get hipl--main--2.6 hipl--main--2.6
unable to access URL: /hipl/archive/.listing
webdav error: Could not connect to server: Connection refused

The problem was related to the firewall at his site. Check your local administrator for abnormal configuration of the firewall (or http proxy) in your site. The problem was solved by using TLA from a host outside the firewall.

tla make-archive --listing --mirror-from hipl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ~/public_html/archives/hipl
tla archive-mirror hipl-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And could you also put in a DNS AAAA record in for hipl.hiit.fi? Or will that cause timing problems for those running duo stack but no IPv6 connectivity (DNS rule: If you get a AAAA record try that first before trying the v4 A record, sigh).

There is an AAAA record for it. However, it seems like dnsproxy does not find it at least for me. I think this bug id is the problem:

(Thanks for Oleg for actually helping to discover that problem)
