Bug#717891: Apt 0.9.9.3 + Acquire::http::Proxy = 400 Bad Request
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.9.3
Architecture: i386
Severity: important
When proxying through a squid3 cache, an attempt to "apt-get update"
fails with all errors.
The old apt package, which worked, sent the following request
to the proxy:
GET http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/InRelease HTTP/1.1
Host: http.us.debian.org
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Accept: text/*
If-Modified-Since: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:41:21 GMT
User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (0.9.9.2)
The new one sends the following, which omits the protocol and host
prefix fron the GET line, making it not a proper proxy request:
GET /debian/dists/unstable/InRelease HTTP/1.1
Host: http.us.debian.org
Cache-Control: max-age=0
Accept: text/*
If-Modified-Since: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 02:41:21 GMT
User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (0.9.9.3)
This causes squid3 to complain
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

I have specifically verified that it's the apt_0.9.9.3_i386.deb package
which does this; libapt-inst1.5, libapt-pkg4.12, apt-utils and apt-doc
can be either 0.9.9.2 or 0.9.9.3 without affecting the results.
