title: bower through a proxy
body: <p>I'm trying to use bower through a corporate proxy. I read <a href="https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/467#issuecomment-21482598">here</a> that I should add some stuff to my .bowerrc file. I did and now instead of getting a not found error, I'm getting ECONNRESET.</p>
  
  <p>npm works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>errors:</p>
  
  <p>last one:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/bootstrap failed: tunneling socket could
  not be established, cause=Parse Error
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and a bunch of these:</p>
