 plugins using curl give problems on servers having both IPV4 and IPV6
 network interfaces running. Basically the performance is poor because curl
 is timing out on the IPv6 address..  The workaround is:

 add line:
 curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
 in ../wp-includes/class-http.php

 Why not have this set as default?
