node-gyp install ECONNRESET issue on Windows 7

[ppalladino]

While running 'node-gyp install" I get the error below. Looks like the the tarball is downloaded so I am assuming my proxy settings are cool. Any clues would be awesome. Thanks...

Windows 7
python 2.7.10
node v0.12.4
npm 2.10.1
VS 2013
Behind corporate proxy
All configs are as prescribed in the node-gyp README.md

node-gyp-install works perfectly. Why then is there a problem with "node-gyp install"? Also, I logged out the proxyUrl variable and looks good. Any insight or hints about tracking this down would be huge. Thanks!

node-gyp-install works for me, i use china mirrors for node.js org dist.
Is there node-gyp has some way to download from mirrors.

[rvagg]

--dist-url can be used to override the default of http://nodejs.org/dist if you want to use one of the china mirrors

[2dxgujun]

Get it, thank u

[marco-faustinelli]

@rvagg - where is this option documented? I cannot find it anywhere on the npm docs.
Please post the complete command line. I tried:

npm install --dist-url=http://npm.taobao.org/mirror/node --save-dev node-gyp

but it still will go to nodejs.org.

[rvagg]

--dist-url doesn't pass through npm unfortunately, tbh I'm not sure if there's a path to get it through. You could install node-gyp directly npm install node-gyp -g and use node-gyp --dist-url http://foo.bar/ and with node-gyp v3 (out today) you can actually set environment variables for it that'll pass through: NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=http://foo.bar npm install whatever. However, node-gyp v3 isn't in npm yet although it will be shipping baked in to the npm that goes out with Node.js v4 that's out very soon.
