IMHO:

I have yet to see any evidence that this is a curl bug. The whole bug history
as seen at bugs.debian.org/114228 shows this being a stupid proxy that does
not follow/obey HTTP standards.

Yes, curl should possibly be adjusted to work with it, particularly when
other open source software manages to work with it, but I still can't see how
this is a bug. I even can't see what we need to adjust to make it work in
such a away.

curl works fine with proxies all over the world and has done so for many
years. This is a very rare exception.
