[Bug 362979] Re: apt-p2p 504 Gateway Timeout error due to Network Proxy being set

[Tim Schofield]

OK so I have now traced where the extra http:/ is coming from so I
kludged

/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/apt_p2p/HTTPServer.py as below

if self.manager:
            #path = 'http:/' + req.uri
            path = req.uri
            if resp.code >= 200 and resp.code < 400:

deleted /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/apt_p2p/HTTPServer.pyc

and restarted apt-p2p this should recompile the above file

sudo /etc/ini.d/apt-p2p restart

My apt-p2p now works fine using clean sources.list file and using
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:9977";

I turned back on my proxy settings  in System Preferences and apt-get
starts getting stuff through the proxy again.  After googling I find the
apt.conf man page says "The http_proxy environment variable will
override all settings".   This seems a bit counter intuitive to have per
application settings overwritten by a system/user setting.

Anyway so back where I started I cannot use apt-p2p with my proxy
settings turned on, any ideas.
