Still having issues with code.jquery.com (lacks IPv6 support)

[lrcarvalho]

Originally reported at https://github.com/jquery/codeorigin.jquery.com/issues/51 and jquery/jquery.com#51.

The jQuery CDN code.jquery.com lacks IPv6 addresses and thus resources from it can't be received using IPv6.

As @mgol said, I'm also sorry to post it here guys, but still there doesn't seem to be any place to report issues related to code.jquery.com.

Below some traceroutes and curl calls that may help to identify the real issue.

Thanks for the report. This is a good place to report issues with code.jquery.com.

The request works on my end:

What's your location?

[lrcarvalho]

I'm accessing it from south Brazil (Porto Alegre city), but I have a client having the same issue from EUA (NY).

[mgol]

For posterity, I'm accessing from Warsaw, Poland.

[lrcarvalho]

I sent an email to stackpath.com explaining the issue on September 11. No updates till now. It can be a huge impact from people that are using IPv6, since more sites that use the jQuery CDN probably are being impacted with this issue.

Waiting for some updates from stackpath.

Thanks guys.

:wave: just came across this issue and I find it quite surprising that it's been a year and still no news. This is going to heavily affect some big part part of jQuery users as clients start moving to ipv6.

[Krinkle]

@marcosnils Could you run these commands to help us understand the issue, and if you don't mind, which country are you connecting from?

curl -6 https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js -I -v

dig code.jquery.com

dig AAAA code.jquery.com

It works for me over IPv6-only connections from London, and from Tokyo. (see https://github.com/jquery/codeorigin.jquery.com/issues/51#issuecomment-658477449 for example).

@marcosnils Thanks, that helps. It looks like IPv6 is all in order there. Your client finds the right DNS records with IPv6 addresses, establishes a good connection to it, and responds with the CDN and our serves all the way, and gets a valid response.

The problem is the redirect response, which is due to the address of this particular CDN node close to you being unknown to us. It can seem specific to IPv6 if the IPv4 address of your nearest CDN does happen to be known to us.

That issue is being worked on as we speak, and has been a bit of a whack-a-mole in recent weeks. We hope this will be solved soon in its entirety. Follow https://github.com/jquery/codeorigin.jquery.com/issues/67 for the latest updates on that issue.
