I don't know when the http proxy started rejecting ipv6 requests but I first noticed it in 7.890 and its still broke in 7.891. Only way to surf using a tunnel broker is to have a allow--http--anyIPv6 rule for IPv6 traffic in packet filter rules.
Hmmm.... I am going to take your word for it. I have used manual settings for proxy in the browser settings in the past even though the proxy server has always been running in transparent mode. I was having problem with snort at the time and was trying to fix it.
I haven't looked at the ipv6 netfilter rules but I thought I had spotted transparent proxy rule. Hopefully this will be fixed soon?
Believe me, the transparent mode is basically just a netfilter rule that is redirecting your traffic through the http-proxy. And since the IPv6 protocol doesn't know the concept of NAT (it was introduced to get rid of NAT and all it's inherent problems), we do not have a IPv6 equivalent for the transparent mode (yet).
"Fixing" is not the right word here. It's more like a missing feature.

I understand how transparent proxy works and am also aware that there is no nat in ipv6 ( that was the whole point to move to ipv6[;)]). Just thought you guys were doing some ninja magic in the background.[:D]
We have started to work on it.
Maybe it will make it into the public beta.
