Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

if the network one is connected to uses a transparent proxy that adds 
this header line, apt fails to download Packages files. Manually 
configuring the proxy works fine.

The internet says this header is a mistake[0], but anyway, nowadays keep-alive
is our default all the time, even for HTTP/1.0 servers, which wasn't the case
earlier which is what was probably the problem back then as your proxy declared
itself HTTP/1.0 and as apt doesn't support this header it assumed close.

I don't think we need should support the header and the world moved on to
keep-alive by default anyway, so we would have the right behaviour now anyway.

Hence closing as done.


Best regards
