Subject: apt does not allow '@' in username for proxy
Message-ID: <[🔎] Pine.LNX.3.96.990623232344.12980B-100000@grendel>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.7
At my work, I use
export http_proxy=http://user@area:pass@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port/
for enabling use of the company's firewall. (The user database is on an
old Novell server, and everybody has an '@' stuck in its username).
With 0.1.x apt's (as in slink), I could do apt-get update and apt-get
upgrade with no problems.
When I upgraded the machine to potato, I discovered the latest apt
consider "area" as the server, and "pass" as the port, i.e., it stops at
the first "@" character. Please change back to the old behaviour, as now I
can't use it anymore.
Thanks.
