[JS] [npm] Run npm behind the corporate proxy
I've just had a very similar problem, where I couldn't get npm to work behind our proxy server. My username is of the form "domain\username" - including the slash in the proxy configuration resulted in a forward slash appearing. So entering this: npm config set proxy "http://domain\username:password@servername:port/" then running this npm config get proxy returns this: http://domain/username:password@servername:port/ Therefore to fix the problem I instead URL encoded the backslash, so entered this: npm config set proxy "http://domain%5Cusername:password@servername:port/" and with this the proxy access was fixed. Note: - It's better the password has no special characters . - Sometimes, the https-proxy should use the same http :// instead of https :// Details can be found here . ---V---
