Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain

My .npmrc looks like this:

registry=http://registry.npmjs.org/
strict-ssl=false
python=python2.7
ca=

It shouldn’t even try to open a SSL connection because I’m using HTTP for the registry.

npm install protractor gives an error when running node-gyp “Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain”:

node-gyp doesn’t use the npm registry, it downloads the tarball from https://nodejs.org/.

Setting NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 in the environment will disable verification but you are setting yourself up for a MitM attack. Closing, not a bug but a feature.
