Package: apt Version: 1.0.4ubuntu6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It would be useful to support PAC (proxy autoconfiguration files) with apt. Specifically, PAC files are simple javascript files that given a URL and HOST output a proxy setting. This can be trivially hooked up with Acquire::http::Proxy-Auto-Detect, however Proxy-Auto-Detect is called only once, instead of per-host, hence one cannot easily mix repositories that require different proxies or proxy only for some repositories. Extending Proxy-Auto-Detect to pass host parameter and calling that for each host/repository would be beneficial to integrate (optionally) pac file support with apt. (Similar to how deb squid proxy support is done). Regards, Dimitri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
