[Bug 1087512] [NEW] proxy authentication not working for HTTPS sources

[Ludovico Cavedon]

Public bug reported:

How to reproduce:
- have an APT repository over https
   deb https://my.repo/ubuntu precise main
- have APT go though an HTTP proxy which requires HTTP authentication

   apt-get  -o Acquire::http::proxy="http://test:test11@localhost:3128/"
update

Expected results:
package lists are downloaded correctly

Actual result:
Failed to fetch https://my.repo/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  The requested URL returned error: 407
etc

The problem is that the https transport mangles the proxy string before
passing it to curl and strips the proxy credentials.

See attached patch to fix it.
