    Hi,

    cntlm is all set up and working correctly: in /etc/cntlm.conf I have username1 and password1 set!

    apt is also configured:
    cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies 

    Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3128";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy  "http://localhost:3128";

    However I have an apt-repository that uses basic authentication (username2:password2)

    /etc/apt/sources.list includes the line
    deb http://username2:password2@mysite.com/debian stable/

    And sudo apt-get update now fails on this particular repository with basic auth!

    Err http://mysite.com stable/ Release.gpg
  Connection failed [IP: 127.0.0.1 3128]

W: Failed to fetch http://mysite.com/debian/stable/Release.gpg  Connection failed [IP: 127.0.0.1 3128]

    All other repositories (debian) work.

    Is this known? It this a cntlm issue, or an apt issue?

    Oh... I forget to mention the workaround.
    If I bypass cntlm, and go straight to the windows ISA proxy:

    cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies

    Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username1:password1@192.1.1.5:3128";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy  "http://username1:password1@192.1.1.5:3128";

    it works perfectly.

    But I want to use cntlm! Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    As additional information... when using cntlm

    wget http://username2:password2@mysite.com/debian

    fails!

    But 

    wget -c --http-user=username2 --http-password=password2 http://mysite.com/debian -dv

    works correctly...

    Perhaps this is related?
    Thanks.
