apt-file 2.1.1 tries to use the proxy information from /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* . Do you use any proxy? Also, you could try to remove the ">/dev/null 2>&1" from the line http = $curl_cmd "<uri>/dists/<dist>/Contents-<arch>.gz" >/dev/null 2>&1 && $curl_post_dl_cmd in your /etc/apt-file.conf and see if you get a better error message.
