Package: apt Version: 0.5.20 Severity: normal For those of us unfortunate enough to live behind a proxy, apt provides the mechanism for accessing sources using that proxy with the apt.conf setting:
ACQUIRE::http::Proxy "http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080"; However, for those of us even more unfortunate to live behind a proxy which only uses the NTLM authentication mechanism, this proxy setting does not currently work. NTLM authentication has now made it into the recently released mozilla v1.6, and it appears to work just fine. Now that the precedent is set (and the required code is available), it would be good if apt could likewise support access through these kinds of NTLM proxies.
