Description

For example the URL http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters/ displays a directory listing over IPv6, and over IPv4 you get a 404 page instead.

This issue is clearly visible when trying to visit that URL via web-based proxy services with and without IPv6 support, for example hidemyass.com has no IPv6 support while ipv6proxy.net does.

The update check seems to work fine however in pfSense with the base URL http://updates.pfsense.org/_updaters, thus it would seem like the files are still accessible, but only directory listing fails.

Those are not meant to be human-readable, they're only used as the update site for the firewall. For humans downloading updates, the mirrors/links from the main site are to be used. (If anything, directory listing should probably be disabled for IPv6...)
