Package: apt
Version: 0.5.20
Severity: normal

For those of us unfortunate enough to live behind a proxy, apt provides the
mechanism for accessing sources using that proxy with the apt.conf setting:

ACQUIRE::http::Proxy "http://username:passwd@proxy.institution.edu:8080";;

However, for those of us even more unfortunate to live behind a proxy which
only uses the NTLM authentication mechanism, this proxy setting does not
currently work.

NTLM authentication has now made it into the recently released mozilla v1.6,
and it appears to work just fine.

Now that the precedent is set (and the required code is available), it would
be good if apt could likewise support access through these kinds of NTLM
proxies.

Not going to add that, as it's too complicated and not worth the
effort.
