That's interesting, but the site isn't being served over IPv6. The IPv6 page is just a redirect to the IPv4 page, so you still can't use it if you're IPv6-only. (And HTTPS connections to https://[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25] https://[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25] fail.)

  Ah, so they are getting ready for World IPv6 Launch, but not entirely there yet. I didn't flip to my IPv6-only network to check it. Thanks for noting this!

    I just noticed yesterday that nmap does the same with their website, that's why I thought to check. http://[2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe96:967c]/ http://[2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe96:967c]/ is web.insecure.org but it just redirects to the IPv4 version.

  The site is being served over ipv6, they are just redirecting you because your Host header doesn't match what they want. This works just fine: curl -g -H "Host:www.facebook.com" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.46 Safari/536.5" "http://[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25] http://[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25]

I'm getting strange transmission errors. Other v6 sites e.g. heise.de work fine. (I've fully disabled IPv4) https://img.skitch.com/20120522-nr5jf24birq4j7ggtqnmrruxn.jpg https://img.skitch.com/20120522-nr5jf24birq4j7ggtqnmrruxn.jp...
