Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apt

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 in my computer at work. The computer is 
behind a internet firewall (http://9.9.9.9:3128).
The problems was:

I have to log into the proxy server using a DOMAIN + username + server +
port

Ive tried to configure in this ways:
  - Menu : system > preferences > proxy
  - Synaptic: preferences > proxy server > proxy http [9.9.9.9 + 3128] + 
authentication [ DOMAIN\username + password]
  - Exporting the string http+proxy to the environment

Nothing was working. In all cases, was returning: 407 Proxy
Authentication Required

But in last search, i found the package 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/web/ntlmaps

This is a local proxy that listen in a local port (in my case: 1080)
that connects to proxy 9.9.9.9:3128 using NT authentication (DOMAIN +
USER + PASSWORD)

But after installing the package using the link above, i need to follow
these steps:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

1 - Change the file /etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg using the following
parameters:

LISTEN_PORT: 1080
PARENT_PROXY: 9.9.9.9
PARENT_PROXY_PORT: 3128
NT_DOMAIN: DOMAIN
USER: myuser
PASSWORD: mypasswsord

#Note: NT_HOSTNAME is empty!

2 - Change the file /usr/share/ntlmaps/main.py. The last parameter of
the calling of function findConfigFileNameInArgv was changed:

conf = 
config_ntlmaps.read_config(config_ntlmaps.findConfigFileNameInArgv(sys.argv, 
'/etc/ntlmaps/'))
#note the fixed string '/etc/ntlmaps/'

3 - Execute the following command in a terminal: 
export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:1080

4 - Execute another command to restart the ntlmaps server:
/etc/init.d/ntlmaps stop
/etc/init.d/ntlmaps restart

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Finally i could use my apt-get via terminal.

Best regards!
