Download fails in conjunction with corporate proxy

[Flowkap]

Please add proxy support.

I think itll be usefull to use npms proxy setting as it should be set as default.

Pull requests are accepted. :)

As a workaround, you could manually download Sauce Connect for your platform and unzip it into node_modules/sauce-connect-launcher/sc/.

I added quick and dirty proxy support but fail to execute it on my linux -.- Seems as if sc for linux is 64 Bit?

Additionally it works perfectly for an http.request, but i get issues cocerning the https.request used in sauce-connect-launcher.js

Is there a specific reason for the https request?

PS: as its working and ok for me I make a pull request of course ;)

It's probable that it's 64-bit. I haven't used 32-bit linux since 2005....

We use https because you'd want that when downloading executable programs -- it prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. It's a security hole otherwise. Does your proxy not transparently pass-through SSL connections?

Sorry but fixing one thing opens 3 others. Running sauceConnect on one of our servers instead of using sauce-connect-launcher.

That's probably a better use-case behind a restrictive corporate proxy. Sorry we couldn't be of more use. 😞
