Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: 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.
