Bug description:
>From the Debian report:

Hi,

I could finally track the IPv6 issue of eclipse to this package. It
seems to be a bug of commons-httpclient. The following code

  import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*;
  import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*;

  class Http {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
      GetMethod method = new GetMethod(args[0]);
      int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
      if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
	System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine());
      }
    }
  }

fails with net.ipv6.bindv6only=1 but works with net.ipv6.bindv6only=0.
(openjdk version: 6b18~pre3-1)
