It seems pre-built binary downloading does not follow proxy environment variables

[marjune163]

Issue or Feature

• [x] If this is an issue with installation, I have read the troubleshooting guide.

It seems pre-built binary downloading does not follow proxy environment variables. I have difficulty accessing npm registry and github directly. When I run npm install, I actually run https_proxy=MY_PROXY_ADDRESS npm install. This works for downloading regular npm package via proxy. But when installing node-canvas, it stucks at downloading prebuilt binary. Seems it always try to connect github directly without proxy.

Steps to Reproduce

$ https_proxy=XXXXXXXXXXXX npm install --verbose

You can configure node-pre-gyp to use a mirror that you have access to using the --canvas_binary_host_mirror flag. See #1771 for some more info
