proxy settings seem to not work

[musikele]

Hi, I'm using private-bower behind a corporate proxy. ATM I have installed it on my machine and we plan to install it on our build server.

these are my proxy settings:

"proxySettings" : {
    "enabled": true,
    "host": "http://localhost",
    "port": 9915,
    "tunnel": false
  },

I have tried even with tunnel : true.

whe I start the server I get this: private-bower --config ./bowerConfig.json

[bower]  18/4/16 11:13:58   Refreshing public packages...
[bower]  18/4/16 11:13:58   Cached public packages loaded
[bower]  18/4/16 11:13:58   private-bower server started
[bower]  18/4/16 11:13:58   something went wrong on the request
{ host: 'http://localhost',
  port: 9915,
  path: 'http://bower.herokuapp.com/packages',
  agent: false,
  method: 'GET',
  headers:
   { host: 'bower.herokuapp.com',
     'Content-Type': 'application/json',
     'Content-Length': 0 } }

and of course, when I do a basic bower search angular to test it out I get No Results.

(If you are wondering why I have a proxy server on localhost, I have a little app that authenticates me on the real proxy server, this is used by many programs system wide (skype, firefox, intellij...) and I have no problems).

How can I understand what's going on ?

Hey,

Did you try it with removing the http:// from the host as protocol is not part of the host field.

Thanks, Barna

thanks, it's working now. as a side note, it is working with "tunnel": true, and I think this depends on my configuration.
