Truffle init fails to create new project behind a proxy

[davebryson]

OSX
Truffle: 3.2.1 (but I saw the same problem with earlier 3.x versions as well)
Node: 6.2.2
Npm: 3.9.3

I've used truffle for some time now, but the recent updates with the way init pulls from github is causing problems behind a proxy. Currently truffle init fails to create a new project with

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 151.101.56.133:443

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same issue:

> truffle init

events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: connect ENETUNREACH xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:443
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1045:20)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1087:14)

I'm running:

• Truffle v3.2.1
• Node v6.9.5
• NPM 3.10.10

on Ubuntu 14.04

I'm seeing this problem when offline. When online: works fine. When offline:

chris@chris-VBox:~/tmp/truffle_test$ truffle init
events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN raw.githubusercontent.com:443
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at errnoException (dns.js:33:15)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:79:26)

Same issue for me too. Any solution?
