I realized that even the reporter say that in newer versions it works –
so no wonder I couldn't reproduce it. I modified our basic-auth test to
check for this issue specifically, so we aren't going to regress on
this.
The history suggests this could be fixed by
436d7eab92bb8f9cc6498acfbf2055e717be6fd0 (from 2010, but that stayed in
experimental for a long time – still, not sure, probably something
better hidden). In either case, fixed by now, so changing status to fix
released. I doubt this is valuable enough to be backported (the bug, not
the commit).
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released
