Cannot install behind corporate proxy with authentication

Current behavior:

I still experience installation issue behind the proxy of my company (same as #4583 and #4988).

λ npm i -D cypress
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.0: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

> cypress@3.8.3 postinstall c:\Projects\RnD\tmp\fluxys-framework\node_modules\cypress
> node index.js --exec install

The Cypress App could not be downloaded.

Does your workplace require a proxy to be used to access the Internet? If so, you must configure the HTTP_PROXY environment variable before downloading Cypress. Read more: https://on.cypress.io/proxy-configuration

Otherwise, please check network connectivity and try again:

URL: https://download.cypress.io/desktop/3.8.3?platform=win32&arch=x64
Error: tunneling socket could not be established, statusCode=407

----------

Platform: win32 (10.0.17134)
Cypress Version: 3.8.3

I have set both my HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY (and even the NO_PROXY) environment variables in the following format:

HTTP_PROXY=http://domain%5Cusername:password@proxy_addr:port

No need to say that this environment variables are working fine for NPM.

Desired behavior:

Be able to download and install cypress without error.

Hello,

I ran into the same issue, I ran the npm install with --ignore-scripts

This will download the npm packages, then download the binary and point to it via CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY env variable

In conclusion, and for others who can encounter the same issue, use the local proxy Px and configure like this: px --server=you.proxy:port --hostonly --username=domain\username --save then px --install and finally logoff and logon to start the proxy.

Then change your http_proxy and https_proxy to point to px: http://localhost:3128.

The px.ini file should look like something like this:

[proxy]
server = proxy-server:port
pac = 
port = 3128
listen = 
allow = 
gateway = 0
hostonly = 1
noproxy = 
useragent = 
username = domain\username
auth = 

[settings]
workers = 2
threads = 5
idle = 30
socktimeout = 20.0
proxyreload = 60
foreground = 0
log = 0
