NPM set automatic configuration script

Question

I work in xyz company. They have set "Automatic Configuration Script" for all the incoming and outgoing through internet Explorer "LAN Settings"

This is how they have set it

Now I think when I do

npm install in cmd, It doesn't work and gives some error.

npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.10586
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install"

npm ERR! network This is most likely not a problem with npm itself

npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the
npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:

Now I want to know if there is any way that I can set this 'Automatic Configuration Script' in npm

If you're using windows (10) you can go to:
Settings -> Network & Internet -> Proxy
and it'll give you the "Script Address". This is your Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file.

I've written more about it here https://github.com/sblack4/autoconfigure-proxy and have a script for setting a proxy done with PAC
