Private npm config not working right

[tauren]

I have entered my custom NPM repo URL after issuing this command: jspm endpoint config npm. The URL is the same as the registry in my ~/.npmrc file. The private NPM repo (artifactory) doesn't require authentication to download. My ~/.jspm/config file now looks like this:

{
  "endpoints": {
    "github": {
      "handler": "jspm-github",
      "remote": "https://github.jspm.io",
      "username": "tauren",
      "password": "***hidden***",
      "log": "true"
    },
    "npm": {
      "remote": "https://npm.jspm.io",
      "registry": "http://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-repo",
      "handler": "jspm-npm"
    }
  }
}

The private NPM server automatically proxies the public server, so I can install any public or private package from it. However, when I attempt to install a package that works when using npm install lodash, I get an error when using jspm:

:jspm install npm:lodash

     Looking up npm:lodash

err  Invalid status code 503

warn Installation changes not saved

I'd like to start poking around to see what might be wrong, but am not sure where to look. Can you point me to the source files that may pertain?

The request that would be giving the 503 in this situation is at https://github.com/jspm/npm/blob/master/npm.js#L84.

This is where it would make a request to - http://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-repo/lodash in order to get the package configuration information.

So I've added logging into npm and it outputs exactly the URL you indicate above. I can successfully hit that URL in both the browser and via curl. Could jspm be adding some sort of headers that cause the request to break?

[tauren]

So, its our proxy biting me in the ass again. Doesn't look like this is a jspm issue. I really need to spend some time and fix this bug: request/request#620

[guybedford]

Could this be the proxy settings perhaps?

[guybedford]

Ok sure, do let me know if there is anything we can do this side to make proxy support easier still.
