Hi,
Google is failing me.
I know I can use acquire::http::proxy in apt.conf.d to set a proxy server,
but this seems to make it used for both HTTPS and HTTP traffic -- however I
only want to use it for HTTP traffic.
Any suggestions?
(Things not to say:
 * Use iptables to transparently proxy port 80
 * Get a better HTTP proxy that support SSL
)
Don't know about https itself, but does limiting hosts help you?

//Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3142/";
    Proxy::bugs.debian.org "http://localhost:8080";
    // bug 493980:
    Proxy::packages.debian.org "http://localhost:8080";
