[Apt-proxy-users] apt-proxy: Doesn't work with HTTP requests with full URI

[Paul B. <bo...@di...>]

Package: apt-proxy
Version: 1.9.33ubuntu1
Severity: important
Tags: patch experimental


When apt proxy receives a full URI such as http://host:port/path/file rather
than just path/file it gets confused.  This change allows it to strip the
protocol, host and port parts from the URI in order to find a suitable back=
end.

In apt-proxy/apt-proxy.py near line 1498

The function begins with:

        path =3D re.sub(r"//+", "/", old_path)

Replace this line with the following two lines:

        path =3D re.sub(r"^http://[^/]+", "", old_path)
        path =3D re.sub(r"//+", "/", path)


Appologies for the lack of a diff -u patch.  I wasn't aware of where to
download a relevent source tree.

Thanks.
