Description

I used the NPM feature of JFrog's Artifactory to setup a proxy registry for the Cordova plugin registry.

It is mirroring:

http://cordova.iriscouch.com/registry/design/app/rewrite/

I’ve then set my local machine to use the artifactory proxy:

plugman config set registry http://10.1.35.111:8081/artifactory/api/npm/cordova-io-registry-remote

This proxy works if I directly used plugman like so:

plugman install —platform ios —project platforms/ios/ —plugin org.apache.cordova.device —plugins_dir ./plugins/

But it fails if I use Cordova directly:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device

Fetching plugin “org.apache.cordova.device” via plugin registry
npm http GET http://10.1.35.111:8081/artifactory/api/npm/org.apache.cordova.device
npm http 404 http://10.1.35.111:8081/artifactory/api/npm/org.apache.cordova.device

I have a suspicion that this is because the Cordova binary is using an outdated version of NPM, but i'm not sure.
