Description

Maintainer: There doesn't appear to be a single maintainer...
Environment: OpenWrt 23.05.3

The current configuration for IPv4 with ovh.com works for IPv6 as well. The same URL and response could be used to support IPv6:

http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@www.ovh.com/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]

Ist also appears that it could use HTTPS by default.

Research direction

Start by locating the ddns-scripts provider configuration for ovh.com and compare its current IPv4 handling with the URL shown in the issue. Verify IPv6 support and whether HTTPS should be the default; done means the provider works with IPv6 using the stated endpoint and the expected protocol behavior is covered.
