Bug#977930: APT https proxy incorrectly rewrites the HOST header



Package: Apt

Version: 1.8.2.2

 

When using APT to get packages from a https site and using a proxy APT replaces the host header with the proxy's name and port

 

This means any proxy configured to reject an invalid host header, will reject the connection.

 

This bug has been fixed in the downstream ubuntu APT package version 1.8.3 as discussed below

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1838771

 

However, Debian has not included this fix in its repository
