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

In addition to setting the below proxy in .bowerrc:

{
  "directory": "app/bower_components",
  "proxy":"http://:@proxy.company.com:",
  "https-proxy":"http://:@proxy.company.com:",
  "http-proxy":"http://:@proxy.company.com:",
  "strict-ssl": false,
  "registry": "http://bower.herokuapp.com"
}

I am required to run the following commands to fix the issue:

npm cache clean
bower cache clean
bower install
