Title:
  add-apt-repository should look at apt.conf for proxy

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At the moment add-apt-repository  doesn't work behind a proxy.

  The workaround in bug #516032 should not be necessary and is not a fix.
  add-apt-repository should just look at the proxy configuration in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
  https is necessary for checking the ppa and http for adding the key.
