This was fixed in the 1.5 series in artful. You can now return http,
https, and socks5h proxy URIs. Note that you also need to use
Acquire::https::Proxy-Auto-Detect
if you want it to be used for https.
The http method gained native https support, so you can now use http and
https with http,
Why the "catch" isn't documented anywhere?
There's another catch here : If the proxy setting needs to be of the
same type as the URL, how exactly am I supposed to know in advance when
querying the information?
As you can imagine, the /etc/apt/souces.list.d is filed with mixed
content such as
Proxy Auto detect for https works perfectly fine, but there's a catch:
The proxy needs to be the same type as the URL. So https only supports
an https proxy, not an http proxy url.
I'm not sure how far we should open that up, but https via http and http
via https are things you probably want to
