I tried to use IPv6 http proxy. Not working. Youtube-dl is up to date.

$ http_proxy="http://[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]:80" /usr/bin/python26 /data/youtube-dl --verbose -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJVfm_TUJJo
[debug] Proxy map: {'http': 'http://[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]:80'}
[youtube] Setting language
WARNING: unable to set language: <urlopen error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer>
[youtube] oJVfm_TUJJo: Downloading video webpage
ERROR: unable to download video webpage: <urlopen error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer>

I'm sure the proxy is alive.

http_proxy="http://[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]:80" wget http://www.youtube.com

It works fine.
