I don't know.

Can you try:

require 'socket'

p Socket.getaddrinfo(nil, 80, Socket::AF_UNSPEC,
                      Socket::SOCK_STREAM, 0, Socket::AI_PASSIVE)

On an IPv6 capable machine I get:

[["AF_INET6", 80, "::", "::", 30, 1, 6], ["AF_INET", 80, "0.0.0.0",  
"0.0.0.0", 2, 1, 6]]

and on an IPv4 only machine I get:

[["AF_INET", 80, "0.0.0.0", "0.0.0.0", 2, 1, 6]]
