Almost every proxy out there seems to have problems dealing with APT's
very agressive use of HTTP/1.1 features such as keepalive. AFAIK APT does
not violate the RFC, is it just the only agressive user of HTTP/1.1 out
there.
wwoffle and apache-proxy have problems, squid and many others do not, I
suggest you strace the http method process and see what system call is
causing it to print that error..
