Title: Installing Yeoman behind a corporate proxy server

Installing Yeoman through npm behind a corporate proxy server fails in our case, since Yeoman relies on two tarballs which are loaded through HTTPS.

I have configured the proxy and https-proxy settings in npm, yet still npm is not able to download through HTTPS.

Installing Yeoman fails with the following error:

npm ERR! fetch failed https://nodeload.github.com/cowboy/grunt/tarball/0ba6d4b529
npm ERR! fetch failed https://nodeload.github.com/yeoman/generators/tarball/282b0b4c51

Changing the two tarball URLs in `package.json` from HTTPS to HTTP fixes this issue for me.
