TypeError: Request path contains unescaped characters
express, javascript, node.js, npm, socket.io
Solution
Set proxy from commandline.
npm config set proxy http://proxydomain:port/
If error occur yet, additional try next.
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
These work for me. (ref http://sushichop.blogspot.jp/2013/01/npm-install.html)
Problem
I try to install node.js modules using: ``` npm install express ``` but I get this error: ``` npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/express npm ERR!
