Bower calls blocked by corporate proxy

Question

I\'m trying to use Bower for a web app, but find myself hitting some sort of proxy issues:

D:\\>bower search jquery
bower retry         Request to https:/         


        

Answer 1

I did not have a .bowerrc file to configure my bower settings. I found the settings living in a file called defaults.js. found under "C:\...\bower\node_modules\bower-config\lib\util\defaults.js"
I hope this helps others:

var defaults = {
    'cwd': process.cwd(),
    'directory': 'bower_components',
    'registry': 'http://bower.herokuapp.com',
    'shorthand-resolver': 'git://github.com/{{owner}}/{{package}}.git',
    'tmp': paths.tmp,
    'proxy': '<>',  // change proxy here or at the top
    'https-proxy': '<>',  // change proxy here or at the top
    'timeout': 30000,
    'ca': { search: [] },
    'strict-ssl': false,
    'user-agent': userAgent,
    'color': true,
    'interactive': null,
    'storage': {
        packages: path.join(paths.cache, 'packages'),
        links: path.join(paths.data, 'links'),
        completion: path.join(paths.data, 'completion'),
        registry: path.join(paths.cache, 'registry'),
        empty: path.join(paths.data, 'empty')  // Empty dir, used in GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR among others
    }
};

module.exports = defaults;
