Please add > SOCKS5 proxy support in the http, https and ftp download methods. http is homegrown, https is libcurl based, ftp is again homegrown, but basically unmaintained. A quick lookup on curl suggests that socks support could be relatively easy to support with it, but I would much prefer a patch from someone actually using it rather than me (or anyone else) shooting into the dark. Even more so for the other two. Bonuspoints for someone who can come up with a testcase for it. Until then, the last time I heard about socks (which was years ago) in regards to apt, it was also mentioned that tsocks works good with apt. Best regards David Kalnischkies
