Installing the Meteor Package behind the Firewall

Question

How are packages such as npm-bcrypt and iron router installed? Do they use a special npm registry? I'm trying to use a meteor behind a corporate firewall (so all outgoing connections should go through a local HTTP proxy on port 8080). I can install npm packages because I can configure proxies in the .npmrc file and I can disable strict-ssl. However, it appears that the meteor is ignoring the npmrc file. Is there a way to disable ssl and install the package in a proxy?

=> Started proxy.
=> Errors prevented startup:
