the standard http_proxy format is machine:port lynx and other
programs relies on it.

However if this variable is set to proxy:3128, apt-get fails miserably
trying to connect to port 80 of machine named 3128

a typical error message is 

Failed to fetch 
http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages  
Cannot initiate the connection to 3128:80 (0.0.12.56). - connect (22 Invalid 
argument)
