Summary: Apt-proxy and http_proxy

Initial Comment:
Hi!

I moved from Debian's Woody apt-proxy to Debian's Sarge
apt-proxy. apt-proxy-v1tov2 converted my old
apt-proxy.conf configuration file to apt-proxy-v2.conf
new format.
I usually use a HTTP Proxy server with user
authentication to fetch packages from Debian repositories. 
wget works properly.
In the new configuration file I use:
http_proxy = http://nameuser:passworduser@httphost:hostport

When I try to apt-get from a client, it hangs on
client's side and later I receive "Connection failed". 
On server side I receive this error in the log file:
2005/06/09 15:56 CEST [Channel,0,10.26.226.231]

Is it an authentication problem with Http proxy server?
With the previous version it worked without problems.
thank you in advance,

Chris,

I am experiencing the same issue as Franï¿½ois and, along with
him, I believe that the issue is not related to passwords
containing '@' or ':' characters and could be fixed by a
more robust section of python code.

I have tried configuration of the http_proxy variable to
point to a proxy server that requires authentication and a
proxy server that does not require authentication.  Both
proxy servers did not provide a successful connection to the
Internet.  Also the same error message as above had appeared
in /var/log/apt-proxy.conf

I have installed apt-proxy 1.9.31 on Ubuntu Breezy Badger.

I am using apt-proxy 1.9.31 from debian unstable and I get
the same behavior.
I have an all alphanumeric username and passord.

Looking at
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/apt_proxy/apt_proxy.py and
searching for http_proxy, It seems it's not expecting
anything else than a host:port.  I can't program in python.
 It must be real easy to fix for a knowledgeable python
programmer.

Thanks
François

Hi it looks like you have this problem: 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=309288 

Do you have special characters (: or @) in the proxy 
password?  Can you replace them with another special 
character as a workaround for the problem? 

Thanks 
Chris
