Not fail if OpenSSL crypto support isn't available #66

Closed piranna closed 10 years ago

piranna commented 10 years ago

If node.js is compiled without OpenSSL crypto support NPM fails to load, but it's only required for publishing. This patch catch the exception thrown by 'crypto' module if OpenSSL is not available and left the 'crypto' namespace undefined. Later, when publish() function is called, an error is given on the callback. This way, npm-registry-client`` andnpm``` itself can be used on node.js compilations without OpenSSL support.

This is only a partial fix for the underlying issue, and as such, it doesn't really make sense to accept on its own. Sorry!
