SMART and IPv6

Yeah, I was also thinking if it something to do with channel fetched 
data and I deleted cache and channel data. No luck.

Okey it's something to do with IPv6 resolving.

That is response from MY webserver, not from centos. :P

Then if I do same command but add -4 switch to use only IPv4, all is 
fine, it fetch right page. Is this a actually curl bug rather than smart 
bug?
Hmm.. But it does this also if I don't have curl installed. Is it python 
bug?
