Working behind the corporate proxy

[Divyahb]

I had a problem in using strider CD. See Issue Strider-CD/strider#902
I placed console.log statements and found out that the path that is constructed in the tunnel.js is incorrect.

I updated with the latest version of tunnel module and now the above error went. But, still I am unable to connect successfully.

My corporate proxy's format is:
http://userid:password@proxy.company.com:PORT

I have set the above to http_proxy environment variable.

I will list out the methods I tried and the resulting scenarios.

Method 1: In main.js, I directly gave

globalTunnel.initialize();

I get the following error in the console.

2016-02-22T14:25:21.745Z - info: { host: 'proxy.company.com',
  port: 8080,
  protocol: 'http:',
  innerProtocol: 'https:',
  method: 'CONNECT',
  path: 'raw.githubusercontent.com:443',
  agent: false }

The connect options looks like this:

{ host: 'proxy.company.com',
  port: 8080,
  protocol: 'http:',
  innerProtocol: 'https:',
  method: 'CONNECT',
  path: 'raw.githubusercontent.com:443',
  agent: false }

Though, I gave http://userid:password@proxy.company.com:PORT format to the http_proxy variable, I am getting a different format in the connect options. Is this correct?

I am not sure whether it is because of the above problem, but I get "tunneling socket could not be established, cause=Parse Error"

Also, have a look at my .npmrc file.

proxy=http://userid:password@proxy.company.com:PORT
https-proxy=http://userid:password@proxy.company.com:PORT
registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/
strict-ssl=false

Method 2: In main.js file, I gave

globalTunnel.initialize({
  tunnel: 'neither',
  host: 'http://userid:password@proxy.company.com',
  port: 8080
});

Now, I am getting the following error in the console.

2016-02-22T14:19:44.401Z - info: { host: 'http://userid:password@proxy.company.com',
  port: 8080,

  method: 'CONNECT',
  path: 'raw.githubusercontent.com:443',
  agent: false }

I am getting the getaddrinfo EAI_FAIL error.

I have fiddled with all the npm configuration options and the code, but of no use. What am I doing wrong here?
