bower to use http instead of https

Question

Is there a way to force bower install to use http instead of https? I was able to resolve this in npm by npm config set strict-ssl false . I'd like to know if there is a bower command that I can run to disable ssl. THanks.

Answer 1

Add or edit either your user or project specific .bowerrc file and add the following configuration.

{
  "strict-ssl": false
}

This works exactly like strict-ssl false in the npm config file.
