username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] is interpeted by the client and sent to the
host explicitly. Apt should have some explicit settings for username and
password to the proxy. Unless I'm mistaken.

Escaping @ in apt.conf

2008-09-26 Thread Cassiano Leal 
Hi list!

Is it possible to escape an @ in apt.conf?

I have a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/60proxy with the syntax to use apt
through a proxy:

ACQUIRE {
http::proxy http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/
}

but since my password has an @ in it, aptitude thinks that the server
address starts right after this @. Say this is the real thing:

http::proxy http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@proxy.server.com:3128/

I get an error saying that it could not resolve the hostname
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] !

Is there a way to escape the @ in the password?

Thanks a lot,
Cassiano Leal

Change your password?


http::proxy http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@proxy.server.com:3128/

I get an error saying that it could not resolve the hostname
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] !

Is there a way to escape the @ in the password?

You must use URL encoding. (i.e:
http::proxy http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3128/
)

If that fails to work then it is a bug in apt, and should be reported with 
reportbug.
