I'm opening this issue because:

  • npm is crashing.
  • npm is producing an incorrect install.
  • npm is doing something I don't understand.
  • npm is producing incorrect or undesirable behavior.

all of the above.

What's going wrong?

This afternoon all servers in our AWS EU-Frankfurt environment started throwing the error regardless of what package we are trying to install

npm ERR! code E418 npm ERR! 418 I'm a teapot: commander@~2.3.0

It then locks up and does not exit the process.

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

npm install

There is nothing being written to the npm-debug.log as the process does not do anything

supporting information:

  • npm -v prints:
    5.6.0

  • node -v prints:
    8.9.0

  • npm config get registry prints:
    http://registry.npmjs.org/

  • Windows, OS X/macOS, or Linux?:
    Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.09

  • Network issues:

    • Geographic location where npm was run:
      AWS - EU
    • [x ] I use a proxy to connect to the npm registry.
    • [x ] I use a proxy to connect to the web.
    • [x ] I use a proxy when downloading Git repos.
    • I access the npm registry via a VPN
    • I don't use a proxy, but have limited or unreliable internet access.

  • Container:
    No container.

I'm behind a corporate proxy too. SSHed into my home computer over my phone, and installs went through just fine.

Yeah, rolling back to Node 4.26 works. 8 still doesn't. This is dumb.

👍 Me too.

For those looking for a workaround, yarn still seems to be healthy.

The body of the 418 is {"error":"got unknown host (registry.npmjs.org:443)"}. Looks like some npm clients are appending the port to the Host header, but only when going through a proxy, and that's confusing the registry:

I'm gonna lock this for now, because I'm sure it's gonna get plenty of traffic. You really don't need to respond to repeat what every other poster is saying. The registry team has been informed.
