can't install clients: npm prompts for password

[davepacheco]

I'm trying to use this repo from another project, but when I try to "npm install" that project, npm prompts for a password. I think it's because of this dependency in node-restify-clients:
https://github.com/restify/clients/blob/master/package.json#L66

I can reproduce this myself on my test system:

$ npm install git+https://git@github.com/restify/errors.git#master
\assword: -

and it just hangs there (with the spinny spinning). If I hit enter a few times, it actually works. But this is breaking an automated build environment.

This appears to be the problem described here:

It may be just the "git@" in the https URL, which presumably isn't necessary.

I've confirmed that without the "git@", it works:

$ npm install git+https://github.com/restify/errors.git#master
restify-errors@3.0.0 node_modules/restify-errors
├── assert-plus@0.1.5
├── verror@1.6.0 (extsprintf@1.2.0)
└── lodash@3.10.1

This is on Node 0.10.40. I don't see this with Node 0.12.

It would be great to get an updated version of the restify-clients package published with this change.

Sorry about that Dave. We'll get that fixed right away.

You can now use v1.1.1 which now uses versions instead of git urls.

Thanks for the super quick fix!
