Check for updates via IPv6

Hi everyone.
I have a dual-stack router (firmware version 6.41). When trying to upgrade firmware (System-Packages-Check for updates) my router uses IPv4 to contact Mikrotik upgrade server.
Is there any way I can force it to use IPv6 for updating?

Depends if the update url even provides an IPv6 ip...

Then it's up to the dual stack impl in RouterOS and possibly application, which stack is preferred. One isn't better than other, the complement each other from the point of view of connectivity.
