Bug#117786: apt.conf - http proxy does not work

[Bill Geddes <wgeddes@wgeddes.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4

Distribution: sid

I used the syntax from the example configure-index.gz for the http
proxy.  This does not work when put into practice - ie. I put this into
/etc/apt/apt.conf, and have tried /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf.  The
timeout variable is honored, but the Proxy is not.   This proxy works if
exported as an environment variable http_proxy.


Acquire
{
http
  { Proxy "http://web-proxy:8088";;
     Timeout "8";
    Pipeline-Depth "5";
  };
};
