We have a build environment where our build servers do not have external 
SSH access for security reasons.   We've got hit by the problem like in the 
following pull request [0], where an NPM dependency does not specify both 
the git+https protocol.  

[0] https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc/pull/352/files

Since this was a dependency of another project, we didn't really have an 
easy way to make this fix, and have to wait until it gets fixed in an NPM 
exposed repository. 

It seems like 'a good thing' if NPM either  a) had a setting to allow git 
to imply  git+https, or  b) just always tried https if the git:// protocol 
failed.   


I'm interested in doing the work and making a pull request, but wanted to 
see if there was a downside to this approach that I'm missing.  Personally, 
I would choose b) to keep settings to a minimum.
