Proxy settings npm escape '\' char

Question

I am behind a corporate proxy and I need to set the settings on npm. The only problem is my username contains \char. The proxy server setup should look like this: http://PREFIX\username:[e-mail]:portbut the end result is as follows: http://prefix/username:[e-mail]:portwhich is completely wrong.

The room %5Cinstead \does not work. Also do not enter your username and password, or the entire URL in "".

I know this question has been asked many times, but none of the solutions have done this for me. I'm on a typewriter for windows. I would appreciate it if you have any suggestions.

Answer 1

You must percent-encode | encode special characters. For example. instead of this:

http://foo:B/[e-mail]:8080

you write this:

http://foo:[e-mail]:8080

So, /replaced by %2F.

Answer 2

Use% 5C, it will replace '\'

http://foo:T\[e-mail]:8080

to

http://foo:[e-mail]:8080
