Checking the environment variables and also HTTP configuration options does not reveal something. Is there a way to do this?

The more generic solution (that also works for BSD) is to edit the global /etc/ssh/ssh_config or per-user ~/.ssh/config and add/replace the entry:

AddressFamily any

with 

AddressFamily inet

You can also set this for just a single host:

Host example.com
    AddressFamily inet
