Bug#36691: apt allows no proxies.

[Austin Brower <bobman@psouth.net>]

Package: apt 
Version: 0.1.9 for i386 compiled on Nov  5 1998  17:50:0 

Category: wishlist

apt allows no way to configure a HTTP and/or FTP proxy, therefore limiting it's use to those outside a firewall.

Suggestion: Use either the HTTP_proxy or FTP_proxy environment variables to discover proxy settings or allow them to be placed on the command line.

I'm using slink (upgraded to from hamm), Linux web 2.0.34 #2 Thu Jul 9 10:57:48 EST 1998 i586 unknown

Thanks for your time,
