- From man apt.conf:

       http   HTTP URIs; http::Proxy is the default http proxy to use.  It  is
              in the standard form of http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/. Per
              host  proxies  can  also  be  specified  by   using   the   form
              http::Proxy::<host>  with  the special keyword DIRECT meaning to
              use no proxies. The http_proxy environment variable  will  over-
              ride all settings.

Incidentally, I believe wget also takes the standard user:pass
formulation, although it also supports other formulations too.
