HTTPS proxy problem on Windows

[tobyweston]

Any suggestions on why I might be getting this error on a Windows box?

C:\font-awesome-svg-png>node font-awesome-svg-png --sizes 16 --color red
Downloading latest icons.yml ...
Downloading latest fontawesome-webfont.svg ...

TypeError: Cannot call method 'toString' of undefined

It's caused by this line

fontData = fontData.toString('utf8');

so fontData is undefined, any suggestions why that might be? I suspected a proxy issue (I need to go through one) but I configured node to use a proxy (I think).

Actually the npm settings are completely separate from Node.JS in general. However I have explicitly added npm get https-proxy inside font-awesome-svg-png and I am trying to use it as a proxy. I was unable to test it properly so please get the latest version and let me know if it works, thanks!

Thanks for looking. I get the following now...

Error: connect ETIMEDOUT

Sounds a bit fishy to do https requests over http proxy .. are you sure https works in other circumstances?

um... no, I have no clue what's going on now! No worries, I'll try from another (non-proxied) env later

thx
