Hang on Downloading Distribution Files

I have a project that builds with cmake-js and when setting it up on a new machine I am getting a hang on the “Downloading Distribution Files” step, I turned on silly logging to attempt to debug it but it gave no extra information for that step. Here is the dump. I can wget the file that it is talking about just fine so I dont know why it would be hanging. Did something change with the URLs?

In node-gyp, you can specify a --nodedir path where distribution files can be found locally. So, since I already have that set up in my .npmrc file, I created a symlink to that location for cmake-js on my server that does not have internet access:

$ mkdir -p ~/.cmake-js/node-x64/$(node -v)
$ ln -s $(npm get nodedir)/include ~/.cmake-js/node-x64/$(node -v)/include

It would be nice if this were made an official feature of cmake-js, and documented.

The downloading logic was replaced a while ago with axios, so the behaviour here may have changed. It still doesnt support proxies #185, but an offline mode has been added #260. I dont think this issue covers anything more than those other two, so I shall close this
