I wish a service would provide me with both my IPv4 and IPv6 address...

Google hands me back my IPv6/IPv4, internatddress.me hands me back my IPv4, ipchicken IPv4, jsonip IPv4, ip.webscript.io IPv4, ifconfig.me IPv4, wtfismyip IPv4/IPv6, DDG IPv4.

And some of them bounce between the two ... I know, I know, happy eyeballs and all that, but it would be handy sometimes to know both my IPv6 address and my IPv4 address.

jsonip.com will have this relatively soon. Its been a pain in the ass to setup, much less test. I've tried going through the tunnelbroker tutorials a few times but keep hitting a mental brick wall. I, and perhaps others, need a simple 1-2-3 tutorial.
Here: http://test-ipv6.com/

It's not possible to determine both your IPv4 and IPv6 address in a way that's compatible with curl or links, however. You need something like JavaScript to issue the second request.

I really don't care about retrieving my IP address using curl ... it is in my browser that I care about.

Yes, test-ipv6.com works, but it is far some simple, running various other tests as well.

How about http://ip6.me/ and http://ip4.me/ ?

I'm with you on this. They aren't worthy of the name without IPv6 support.
http://uripis.com (uses whatever is default, or http://ipv4.uripis.com and http://ipv6.uripis.com to force ipv4/6 :)
