[Bug 117398] Re: netboot install proxy apt-cacher

[pepa]

This is an upstream bug that still exists in the current netinst. If an
apt-cacher url is filled in for a proxy, it refuses to work with it.

Title:
  netboot install proxy apt-cacher

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am trying to use apt-cacher with the netboot installer found here:
  http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/
  (tried  feisty's  too)

  The only way I could get it to work were with these settings:

  ### Mirror settings
  d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
  d-i mirror/http/hostname string cp600:3142
  d-i mirror/http/directory string /us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

  I tried a normal hostname and dir (us.archive.ubuntu.com and /ubuntu ) and all sorts of versions of proxy:
  d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://cp600:3142/
  d-i mirror/http/proxy string cp600:3142/
  d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://cp600:3142
  d-i mirror/http/proxy string cp600:3142

  In both a preseed file and the interactive text based installer. The
  only thing that I could see working was to put the proxy in hostname,
  host name in dir and and  leave proxy blank.  yuck.

  It seems odd that the proxy needs the http:// when hostname doesn't.
