Bug#140334: Apt chokes on non-standard proxy responses
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
I recently installed potato on a machine on my work, in an effort to
convince my bosses of its powers. Unfortunately, apt appears to choke on the
Microsoft ISA Server 2000 proxy server we're running here.
I tried woody as well, and at first it seemed to work: With the bootdisks I
was able to download the base system through the proxy, but unfortunately
the version of apt that comes with woody still does not work, and gives the
exact same errors.
I tried to get a logfile of the exact data that is send between the debian
machine and the proxy, but unfortunately I did not succeed. If someone would
care to give me a little help on that side, I'd be more than willing to help
solve this problem.
I understand that this probably is not a real bug in apt, and the blame is
with Microsoft (non-standard headers), but I don't expect Microsoft to fix
the bug.
Appended below is the output of apt-get update.

Jelmer Jaarsma
