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, https, and socks5h proxies. I added a whitelist to the
proxy autodetection script to make it accept these URL types for any
http or https URLs.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released

Title:
apt does not honor Proxy-Auto-Detect for HTTPS URLs
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
apt(-get) does not honor Proxy-Auto-Detect configuration in any way
for HTTPS URLs.
ex: vi /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-proxy-auto-detect
Acquire::http:Proxy-Auto-Detect "/path/to/app";
"app" performs some actions and output the name of the proxy server
according to some internal rules, in the form
"http://proxy.domain.tld:1234/";
This works perfectly for all HTTP-like "deb http://example.com/ xxx"
URLs but is ignored for HTTPS URLs. Setting "Acquire::https:Proxy-
Auto-Detect" or even the legacy variable name "ProxyAutoDetect"
(without dashes) does not help either.
This is very annoying as the very purpose of this auto-detection is to
be network environment aware instead of using a hardcoded value for
the proxy setting.
This should be fixed. Thank you.
