Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-06-26 13:27:47 UTC 
pkg-status.freebsd.org links to individual builders via poudriere icon (smoking powder keg) or new_failed logs many of which are IPv6-only. portsfallout.com and pkg-fallout@ mail already rewrite links like the following:

http://beefy16.nyi.freebsd.org/
to
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy16/

As a workaround IPv4 users can set up a tunnel (e.g., stf(4)) or proxy (e.g., security/tor) but http:// (unencrypted) links are subject to eavesdropping or tampering (e.g., to exploit JS vulnerabilities in browsers) by the tunnel/proxy provider.

It took a while for me to realise the significance of this report.

Excellent. 

If I can get to the LibreOffice original (or a copy) from which <https://people.freebsd.org/~grahamperrin/pkg-status/> was produced, I'll add a hint about the existence of IPv4-friendly URLs such as this, and then publish elsewhere.
