Proxy Server does not work with Username and Password

[starr749]

The Regex used to to parse the process.env.http_proxy only works when the env variable is in the http://proxyurl:port format.

For those of us stuck behind the corporate firewall: http://username:password@proxyurl:port, the regex does not parse the url correctly.

The line in question being: var proxyVars = proxyServer.match(/^([^:/]*:[/]{2})?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?/i);

This is really unfortunate for those of us on windows, because we have no place like "/usr/share/unicode/ to put the file either.

+1 any workaround? EDIT: this regex seems to work:

/^([^:/]*:[/]{2})?(([^:/]+)?:(([^:/]+)@))?([^:/]+)(:([0-9]+))?/i

and change lines 139,140 to

unicodedatafile.host = proxyVars[6];
unicodedatafile.port = proxyVars[8];

If you're on Windows, and behind a corporate proxy, the only real workaround that I can think of would be to install something like Cntlm, setup a local proxy (without a username / password) that forwards to your corporate one with the correct credentials.

However, this may violate security rules, so you'd want to consult with your IT, go through proper channels etc.

Definitely not an ideal work around, but it's the only thing that I've found that might work on windows machines.

Even using Cygwin I was not able to download / read the unicode file.

Solution offered by @behboud works for me as well - can someone do this, or do we need to submit a pull request?
