Use proxy to reach uplink repos

[trazeris]

I use sinopia for a private repo hosted on our company servers and I need to pass through a proxy to reach public servers. As it is sinopia is not able to send requests for the public npm registry on my server.

If you are not interested in implementing this feature for now, could you please point me in the right direction to do it (where the request to uplinks are sent, especially when we GET dependencies of a module)

How does npm itself work in your case? Do you use HTTP or HTTPS protocol to connect to public servers?

Adding http proxy is very easy (but insecure), https proxy is trickier because of connect method usage and self-signed npmjs certificate.

I'll definitely look into it soon.

I added this feature and published new version to npm.

Starting from version 0.5.3, you can use either HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY environment variable or define http_proxy/https_proxy in configuration file. Didn't quite test it yet, so ask if you have any issues with it.

Wow, thanks I cannot test it right now but will definitely do it asap

EDIT: It works just fine, many thanks!
