Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

When I try to log in with my OIDC provider, I get the following error message:

 OIDC Discovery Error: HTTP request failed during discovery with error: cURL error 60: SSL: certificate subject name '*' does not match target hostname 'pocketid.server.de' (see https://curl.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://pocketid.server.de/.well-known/openid-configuration

It seems to have something to do with IPv6.

When I run this curl -4 -v https://pocketid.server.de command inside the container, I get the correct certificate

But when I run this curl -6 -v https://pocketid.server.de command inside the container, I dont get the correct certificate

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the webpage mentioned above.

Problem only exists on Version > 26.05.1
v26.05.1 does not have this problem
