I use a wired LAN at my college which uses proxy. As per this answer I edited my apt.conf file. My proxy details are as follows
Username: mahe\ict.student
Password: mumit@123
Proxy host: 172.16.19.10
Port: 80
This is my apt.conf file.
Acquire::http::proxy "http://mahe%5Cict%2Estudent:mumit%40123@172.16.19.10:80/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://mahe%5Cict%2Estudent:mumit%40123@172.16.19.10:80/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://mahe%5Cict%2Estudent:mumit%40123@172.16.19.10:80/";
I still get the same 407 Proxy Authentication error. I posted my details here because I read that there are issues with Proxy authentication where username/password contain special characters like @. Is there anything wrong in the configuration above? How do I use the proxy on the terminal?
