Package: apt Version: 0.3.19 Severity: wishlist The http apt method doesn't appear to support HTTP redirection codes, i.e. when recieving 301 (Permanent Redirect) or 302 (Temp) code it gives back "Err".
I can see this facility to be desirable in several instances, including - temp redirects when mirrors are in the process of being updated or undergoing maintainance. - redirects to software that is stored in .deb format, but not in an apt-able archive. See [RFC2068 10.3]
