Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Apt-get cannot handle http redirects (code 302 responses).
To reproduce: setup an apache, and configure it with a
"Redirect / http://some-debian-mirror/";
Mention this apache instead of the real site in sources.list,
and try to apt-get update.
I'd like to have this feature, so that i can temporarily
redirect users of my mirror to other sites, if the mirrored
data is ever unavailable.
For example, with a sources.list line:
deb http://debian.otenet.gr/debian potato main contrib non-free
(that site currently issues redirects),
i get errors such as:
Err http://debian.otenet.gr potato/main Packages
302 Found
Ign http://debian.otenet.gr potato/main Release
Err http://debian.otenet.gr potato/contrib Packages
302 Found
Ign http://debian.otenet.gr potato/contrib Release
Err http://debian.otenet.gr potato/non-free Packages
302 Found
Ign http://debian.otenet.gr potato/non-free Release

Deliberate, redirects are not guarenteed to give the same file that was
requests (see for instance mod speeling)
No proper mirror should generate redirects like that, play with the DNS
instead.
