NPM uses CouchDB. CouchDB uses HTTP. HTTP is a layered system over the network.
Use a proxy! Route HTTP requests to https://<custom-registry>/forever-agent to serve your custom version. Everything else is a passthrough to registry.npmjs.org. Prepare for bug reports when developers forget to change their NPM registry setting. :) Cheers, Kevin On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Adam Crabtree <[email protected]> wrote: > Though it doesn't address the larger issue, that's definitely a better > approach than forking request.
