I am not a typings expert for how these imports normally go, it seems it reads from the local folder so not requiring a remote source to be updated. I am guessing it is because request does not have any typings locally. I am guessing modifying typings.json to specify the npm typings source (not sure why it doesn't pickup from package.json). I can investigate further if the immediate answer is not apparent to someone more familiar.
A better solution would be to completely drop the dependency on typings and only use @types. This should simplify the build process and reduce the errors.
