Title: http:Fix Host header in proxied https connections Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in apt source package in Disco: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Currently CONNECT requests use the name of the proxy as Host value, instead of the origin server's name. According to RFC 2616 "The Host field value MUST represent the naming authority of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL." The current implementation causes problems with some proxy vendors. This commit[0] fixes this.

However, it was unable to fetch the newly added Microsoft packages repository served via HTTPS. By using Wireshark to examine the HTTPS request made by APT, the request body reveals as: CONNECT packages.microsoft.com:443 HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: internal:8080\r\n User-Agent: Debian APT-HTTP/1.3 (1.6.11)\r\n ... ... There also is an automated test case in the package that runs as part of autopkgtest that tests a scenario like this, see the commit. [Regression Potential] * Fix already in debian, and Eoan * Has been reviewed/approved by juliank * A test package (pre-sru) has been provided to an impacted user, and he confirms it solves the situation.
