[Bug 1661199] Re: Apt-cacher-ng fails on https repo

[Julian Andres Klode]

Think about that: Your proxy returns 403 and you have 20 repositories,
and now get 20 messages, each 100 lines long because your proxy decided
to go fancy.

And of course: If reported as an actual error message, these things also
become python exceptions.

Or did you really just mean the message after the status code (RFC calls
it reason-phrase) and not the entire response body? That's usually
reasonable short. That said, apt-cacher-ng gets very creative with these
messages, other proxies stick to the standard messages. And the HTTP
standard says a client should ignore the messages completely, as they
are legacy (compare RFC 7230, 3.1.2).

So I'm not sure it's worthwhile to display the reason-phrase either:
It's only used by apt-cacher-ng and the standard says we should ignore
its contents.

  W: The repository 'https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial Release' does not have a Release file.

  When apt is set to disable the proxy, using the following /etc/apt/apt.conf:
  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:9999/";
  Acquire::https::Proxy "DIRECT";

  (note that the port has been changed from the default)
