Chapter 10: Known Bugs and Limitations

• Versions between 0.2.6 and 0.3.3 created broken X-Original-Source URLs in the .head files. The effects should be negligible.
• Only the "Basic" type of HTTP proxy authentication is supported at the moment
• Only HTTP HEAD and GET commands are supported properly. POST support is limited to the calls made by apt-listbugs and might garble some requests.
• Transparent proxy mode not implemented yet
• The metadata update in maintenance jobs (like expiration task) attempts to guess the best source of update based on original source information and current backend configuration. In case of failure, run a "forced" download of index files through the web interface.
• See TODO file in apt-cacher-ng source for various other notes
