1237199 - Missing IPv6 support for ftp.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(mozilla.org :: Miscellaneous, task)

Description

[ports]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151125152445

Steps to reproduce:

Try to download something from ftp.mozilla.org while having *only* an IPv6 connection available.

There is no AAAA DNS entry for ftp.mozilla.org:

$ drill ftp.mozilla.org aaaa
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 45709
;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;; ftp.mozilla.org.     IN      AAAA

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ftp.mozilla.org.        22      IN      CNAME   d34chcsvb7ug62.cloudfront.net.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:

;; Query time: 16 msec
;; SERVER: 192.168.0.23
;; WHEN: Wed Jan  6 10:18:57 2016
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 76

It is of course reproducible via FTP:

$ ftp ftp.mozilla.org
ftp: Can't create socket for connection to `54.192.202.27:21': Protocol not supported
ftp: Can't connect to `ftp.mozilla.org:ftp'






Actual results:

I could not download Firefox/Thunderbird/anything from the server.


Expected results:

I should be able to connect to ftp.mozilla.org if i just have an IPv6 connection.

FWIW, the reason why the FTP protocol isn't working is because it was disabled. <https://blog.mozilla.org/it/2015/07/27/product-delivery-migration-what-is-changing-when-its-changing-and-the-impacts/>
