400 error trying to install on mac

[EdTriplett]

Problem description

I get a 400 error when trying to install

Reproduction steps

'npm i grpc --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org'

Environment

• OS name, version and architecture: [e.g. Linux Ubuntu 18.04 amd64]: MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 x86_64
• Node version [e.g. 8.10.0]: 8.12, with same result on 12.16.1 and 13.6.0
• Node installation method [e.g. nvm]: nvm
• Package name and version: grpc@1.24.2

Additional context

I specify the registry in the command line because I have an enterprise registry as default.
I get the same issue when using --build-from-source.
The 'unused parameter warnings' below continue seemingly to infinity, until I control^c to kill it.
This resembles #1227, but I use an older version of node and try to install the latest grpc

tdd-infra🌘$ npm i grpc --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org

> grpc@1.24.2 install /Users/trip/coding/tdd-infra/node_modules/grpc
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --library=static_library

We're had error code 400 reported before and I have no idea what causes it. The address it's trying to download from is just Cloudflare proxying a Google Cloud Storage bucket. Maybe it was just a temporary thing; now that it has been a few hours since you reported this, if you try again do you still get the same error?

If the download still doesn't work, the build from source should work. It will take a little while, but those warnings are expected and don't indicate a broken build.

I'm still getting the 400 but the build does succeed. Thank you @murgatroid99 !
