Title:
apt /usr/lib/apt/methods/http has proxy issues
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
Source package is: apt-0.7.9ubuntu17
I am behind a proxy and apt /usr/lib/apt/methods/http does not use the
correct http headers when fetching the .tar.gz file. This seems to be a
combination of problems and I am not sure if the proxy is buggy or the
originating website is buggy. So instead of getting a gzip file, I get a
gunzipped tar file from the proxy when I try to get any source packages.
This subsequently fails checksum.
Can you please apply this patch, it is just one line:
diff -r apt-0.7.9ubuntu17/methods/http.cc ../apt-0.7.9ubuntu17/methods/http.cc
687a688,691
> // generate proper encoding
> if (Itm->Uri.substr(Itm->Uri.length() - 3) == ".gz") {
> strcat(Buf, "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate\r\n");
> }
It simply adds the correct Accept-Encoding header flag while
requesting a .gz file. This fixes my problem and I can do a "apt-get
source" from behind a proxy as well.
