bower through a proxy

Question

I'm trying to use bower through a corporate proxy. I read here 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.

npm works fine.

Any suggestions?

errors:

last one:

Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/bootstrap failed: tunneling socket could
not be established, cause=Parse Error

and a bunch of these:
