Title:
  proxy authentication not working for HTTPS sources

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
