I can't add PPA repository behind the proxy (with @ in the username)
- by kenorb
I'm trying to add the ppa repository (as a root) with the following command:
export HTTP_PROXY="http://[email protected]:[email protected]:8080"
add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 125, in <module>
ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 84, in get_ppa_info_from_lp
curl.perform()
pycurl.error: (56, 'Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT')
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Looks like curl is connecting to the proxy, but the proxy says that Authentication is Required.
I've tried with .curlrc, http_proxy env instead, but it doesn't work.

Maybe it's because there is @ sign in the username? Wget works with proxy fine.
