Test your connectivity for World IPv6 Day

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

Problem solved after doing some sniffing. A lot of IPv6 packets were 
blocked by the modem's (Zyxel) firewall.

The reason Chromium was "working" fine is because it was using IPv4 in 
order to connect to the dual-stack sites included in eyechart. As 
someone else pointed before, it would be good to have IPv4/IPv6 
differentiation shown.

For everyone interested, from http://codereview.chromium.org/7029049

When a hostname has both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, and the IPv6 address 
is listed first, we start a timer (300ms) (deliberately chosen to be 
different from the backup connect job). If the timer fires, that means 
the IPv6 connect() hasn't completed yet, and we start a second socket 
connect() where we give it the same AddressList, except we move all IPv6 
addresses that are in front of the first IPv4 address to the end. That 
way, we will use the first IPv4 address. We will race these two 
connect()s and pass the first one to complete to ConnectJob::set_socket().
