[PLUG] apt-get, https, and auth

[Mazhary-Clark, Ben]

Fine members of the PLUGin' list,

I want to do a Debian install on a system at work for testing reasons.  My
only concern is the APT facility.  Our corporate firewall is pretty strict
in that I bet I would only be able to do an apt-get through https with proxy
username/password authentication.

Now the actual question:
Can apt-get work through an authenticated https proxy?

Thanks,
