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).

Title:

I attached Vagrantfile that reproduces the problem in which I try to add the
following repositories to apt:
deb https://FOO@BAR:p...@not-existing-domain.com/xyz precise non-free
deb https://FOO%40BAR:p...@not-existing-domain.com/xyz precise non-free
---
For both URLs the error message on Ubuntu 12.04 is the same:
Failed to fetch https://domain.com/xyz/dists/precise/non-free/binary-
amd64/Packages Couldn't resolve host 'BAR'
$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
$ apt-get --version
apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.26 for amd64 compiled on Aug 5 2015 19:06:57

On Ubuntu 14.04 the URL is parsed correctly as in both cases the
following error message is printed:
Failed to fetch https://not-existing-domain.com/xyz/dists/precise/non-
free/binary-i386/Packages Could not resolve host: not-existing-
domain.com
$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
$ apt-get --version
apt 1.0.1ubuntu2 for amd64 compiled on Jan 12 2016 20:13:58
For security reasons I prefer not to disclose the real repository URL,
but it works on Ubuntu 14.04 and doesn't work on 12.04.
