Bower calls blocked by corporate proxy

Question

I\'m trying to use Bower for a web app, but find myself hitting some sort of proxy issues:

D:\\>bower search jquery
bower retry         Request to https:/         


        

Answer 1

The solution for me is this config .bowerrc

{
  "directory": "vendor",
  "registry": "http://bower.herokuapp.com",
  "proxy": "http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.host.br:8080",
  "https-proxy": "http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.host.br:8080",
  "strict-ssl": false
}

Using the http protocol in https-proxy plus registry entry with http protocol.

Remember to change 8080 port number to whatever is yours proxy server port.

Answer 2

its work for me to change in .bowerrc file

{
 "directory": "client/lib", 
 "registry": "http://bower.herokuapp.com",
 "proxy":"http://192.168.1.205:3228",
 "https-proxy":"http://192.168.1.205:3228"
}

• where client/lib is installation directory where do you want to install
• and http://192.168.1.205:3228 is your proxy ip with port. corporate proxy can be different according to oraganization.

Answer 3

For info, in your .bowerrc file you can add a no-proxy attribute. I don't know since when it is supported but it works on bower 1.7.4 and it solve the issue of bower behind a corporate proxy with an internal repository

.bowerrc :

{
  "directory": "bower_components", 
  "proxy": "http://yourProxy:yourPort",
  "https-proxy":"http://yourProxy:yourPort",
  "no-proxy":"myserver.mydomain.com"
}

Answer 4

In case it helps someone, I had a 'bower blocked by group policy' error.

Solution was to make an exception in CryptoPrevent, a application installed on our company computers to prevent crypto lockers.

Answer 5

Are you behind a proxy?

Have you set up environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY?

SET HTTP_PROXY=http://yourproxyserver:yourproxyport
SET HTTPS_PROXY=http://yourproxyserver:yourproxyport

Answer 6
